Purpose Of The Clan MacAlpine Society
-
The Society’s purpose is to promote continuance of the Clan as an effective body by providing opportunities to develop kinship among members of the Clan, by preserving our Clan history and our members’ individual genealogical histories, and by encouraging the recognition of our Clan by outside bodies.
The Society serves to promote a general awareness of the Clan and its history to its members and to the public at-large through its presence at Highland Games, through various advertisements, and through its worldwide web site. In providing education about the Clan and Scotland, its history, and its culture, the Society promotes and protects the interests of the Clan and its origins.
The Society maintains The Clan Roll Call, which represents a listing of persons declaring themselves to be members of the Clan. This is of particular importance because we need to gather together as a Clan in order to successfully petition the Court of the Lord Lyon in Scotland to recognize a Clan MacAlpine Leader. The names of all qualifying Society members are automatically added to The Clan Roll Call upon submission of their Membership Application. Click here to learn more about membership in the Society.
Clan members who have not yet joined the Society but who wish to add their name to the Clan Roll Call to support our Clan revival efforts and be on our mailing list can do so immediately; click here for more Clan Roll Call information. It’s not too late for you to help your Clan! The Society provides Clan Roll Call registration as a FREE service to all Clan members.
The Society’s Clan Historical and Genealogical Repository (a future project) will collect, preserve, and disseminate literary, historical, and educational materials pertaining to Clan MacAlpine, its members, and Scotland.
The Clan and the Society are not one and the same; the Society is a group of the Clan’s members and friends and it does not purport to be the Clan itself. We encourage all members of the Clan to join the Society as a way to help support, financially and otherwise, the Clan’s interests and to participate in the heritage of the Clan.
