    clan associations

    I just recieved my membership materials in the mail from the Clan MacPherson Association. I was wondering how many you the rabble are members of their clan's association and what benefits you enjoy most from it.

    I voted "I don't have a clan, I just love kilts" The Irish don't have clans, we have gangs!
    My wife is a member of her Clan's associations, and I am a member of two Irish heritage groups.

    Enjoy the Urlar..

    I pay my dues to the Clan MacNeil Association. But then many of them are my close rellies.

    I also pay dues to Clan Lamont Society of North America. There may be a connection there, but the genealogy is not complete ...Yet.

    I have found it hard to find a clan for my last name. I guess LYTHGOE is not associated with a prominent clan. I am not really sure though.

    The only time someone contributes to Clan McLowlife is when we are trying to raise bail- and then the most frequent contribution is "Good Luck". I respect the clan system but I can't claim much in the way of affiliation.
    Some take the high road and some take the low road. Who's in the gutter? MacLowlife

    I'm a member of Clan Mackintosh of North America and the Clan Chattan Association. I'm not really involved in either, but I like being a member and enjoy reading the newsletters that come out.

    Recent member of Clan Crawford Association and work closely with Clan Wallace. It's a great way to help others learn of their own heritages.

    So, do I get to change my kilt count when I have saved half the money to buy my next or when I get all the money together and actually order it? Either way, I'm getting close to 1.5!

    I'm not a member of any association. I don't feel a strong enough connection to any particular clan.
    I do feel rather affiliated with one clan - but I do not agree with their constitutional system and some of the leadership's beliefs.
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
