So happy to find this family site. My grandma sent most of her life researching the family tree, so I've always known that our family was from Scotland and immigrated to N. America in 1734. Even though our branch of the family had been in the US for over 2 hundred years, I was taught to be proud that I was not only an American, but a Scot too!

As a young lad in school I was asked to research my heritage, as I was to find out this would be harder than I thought as my records are incomplete for the past few decades! In my search however I was fortunate to happen upon an old crest; On a chapeau Gules furred Ermine, a demi-lion Gules holding in his dexter paw a sword Proper. Reading the motto beneath, Fide et Fortitudine, I began to trace back a fascinating family history through my Grandfather James Findlay... unfortunately finance limits my research to anything within a drivable distance or in print and I am not able to purchase Geoffery Farquharsons book on clan history, however it is my hopes to someday visit clan property and perhaps sit down and learn the best way possible; by word of mouth! Sincerely yours, Bradley James Findlay.

Nice to see that there is still a sence of greater family. Down in New Zealand most of the things celebrating Scotts have dissapeared. We aren't supposed to be proud of where we came from here, just to appologise for what other European ancestors did. My Grandmother was a Farquhar, though she was born in New Zealand, my Great-Grandfather was from the old land. I'm not sure about my Great-Grandmothers family though, but she was scottish. My dad's side, and he doesn't have that knack for knowledge as such. :D

Always knew the clan history and a regular visitor to Braemar and Ballater to meet family but this is the first time I've visited the site. Very impressed, keep up the good work. Shame I'll be missing out on Ballater games this year :( Scott.

Hello, Thank you for an interesting site. My great grandfather James Wiley Dickie hailed from Scotland and emigrated to the USA, fighting for the North in the Civil War. I was told his clan was Farquharson, but do not know that for sure. Can anyone verify if this name, Dickie, is from this clan? Answers much appreciated.
