Clan Matheson Society - The Official Website (original) (raw)
Who We Are
The Society was primarily established to bring together individuals from around the world who share the same Highland heritage. It is now made up of many branches that span several continents and as recogniton of our efforts increases, we will continue to grow into a stronger organisation. This, the international site, is largely used for archival and reference material which may be of interest anywhere and over time. In addition, each branch has its own web site (see drop-down menu above) and these contain information about events and other things that that branch is organising. The Information page includes a site map for this site.
Members have access to a wealth of on-line information, e.g. enabling them to research the Clan's history or their own genealogy (both under the History drop-down menu above). In addition they receive an electronic or paper copy of their branch Newsletter. Through our international events and gatherings, the web sites, and the International Facebook Group called Clan Matheson Society (see under Branches), we have brought many people together over the years. Please take this opportunity to browse through our sites, and discover some of their many features.
The Chief's Message

We welcome new members, whatever their interest in the Clan. If you have any questions, please go ahead and ask. We look forward to hearing from you.

Our Objectives
There are branches of the Clan Matheson Society in many countries, linking Clan members through their own social events, newsletters and websites. In addition, the International Clan Society is dedicated to bringing together Mathesons from across the world and to discovering more about the Clan's origins. The Society's genealogy team is actively compiling full records of the various branches and surnames in the extended Clan family, and the Clan has its own DNA project which is using established scientific methods to trace the Clan back to its earliest roots.
