If you are interested in Genealogy, some of the Clan Societies have well qualified genealogists who will review your family tree information. When I joined the Clan Campbell Society, the Clan Genealogist reviewed the information I had gathered, made some corrections and supplied me quite a bit of additional information on some individuals. The information contained the text of two wills that I did not have, neither of these individuals were Campbells. They provided contact information with some other members who were descendants of the same line.

Clan Campbell also sends it's members "The Journal of the Clan Campbell Society" four times a year, it's a very informative magazine, this last quarter it contained 58 pages. Some of the other Clan Societies may have similar publications.

Most of the Clan Societies are set up as charities and allow anyone who is interested in the Clan or a Sept of the Clan to join, there are a few exceptions. Many do not require a family connection at all, just an interest in the history of the Clan.

My experience has been positive, but that may be because of my personal interests.
