Purpose

The Clan Ramsay Genealogy project’s mission is to foster the spirit of kinship and pride existing among all who have Ramsay ancestry, regardless of spelling.  Clan family names include:  Ramsay, Ramsey, Dalhousie, Ramsay of Bamff, Ramsay of Balmain, Maule, Brecheen, and Brechin.  The genealogist established the clan genealogical database in 1997 to provide a clearinghouse for Ramsay family data and history.  Data submitted by clan members is entered into a database, however, the information is not verified by the genealogist.  Verification of the data is the responsibility of the submitter.

The Clan Ramsay database was created using The Master Genealogist, Wholly Genes, Inc.; 5144 Flowertuft Court, Columbia, Maryland 21044; 410-715-2260.

Privacy

Any data submitted will be shared with other researchers upon request, however, no commercial use of the data will be made.

How to Participate

Researchers may participate in the Clan Ramsay genealogical database project by providing information in any format, but most researchers submit data on family group sheets, pedigree charts or via IBM format GEDCOM files.  An important element is information on collateral lines as well as principal Ramsay lineage.  The more marriage links, geographical location data, and dates provided, the better the chance of making a connection with the project data.  Documentation of cited events is encouraged.

The genealogist requests corrected or additional information be sent, whenever found, so the Clan database can be as accurate as possible.

Although the genealogical database is a project of Clan Ramsay of North America, participation in it does not constitute membership in Clan Ramsay.
