Since 1995 Graeme has acted as Seanachaidh for Clan MacKenzie, compiling material on Mackenzie genealogy from published sources and through research commissioned from him by individual clans people; and he served for two years as Chairman of the Clan Mackenzie Society of Scotland & the UK. In the course of his work as a professional genealogist he’s collected a considerable amount of information on other Scottish families and names, and is pursuing a particular interest in the nature of the Scottish clan, and the evolution of the so-called “clan system”. His involvement with clan gatherings has given Graeme considerable experience attracting overseas visitors to the Highlands, which led to him being invited to join Visit Scotland’s Ancestral Tourism Group.
He is the creator of clanmackenzie.net and founder of Highland Roots (highlandroots.net). Their mission “To help the descendants of Scots around the world discover their roots in the Highlands – by researching their ancestors for them, or teaching them how to do it for themselves.”
We look forward to benefiting from Graeme’s work and making it available to the Initiative.
Stay tuned for more updates.
