    Glen,

    Congratulations on taking steps to further investigate your heritage. I hope the society is an active one I am sure you will be a good contributing member.

    One thing though, you were already a member of Clan Graham by birth. You didn't need to join it as your ancestors were Grahams, therefore by blood you are a Graham. You have joined the Clan Graham Society which is a group of proud members of the Graham Clan who wish to celebrate and promote your shared heritage and the ties between clan.

    Cheers

    Jamie

    Actually this is one of my pet peeves.

    Now I'm sure that Glen always understood the difference. It's just my hope that people aren't being misled into thinking that they need to be a paying member of a Clan Society to be a member of the clan. And it's for that reason that I insist on making things clear, like Jamie has done.

    Oh, and Congrats on the membership! I'm still patiently to receive my certificate from the Clan Grant Society of Canada, and I applied in June. At least they haven't cashed my cheque yet.

    Which is exactly why I joined the Clan MacRae Society. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of your membership as I get out of mine. I have met some great people and had some great times.
