Comments: Thank you for allowing me into your Clan Galbraith world. I went the Highland Games in Grandfather mountain a couple weeks ago and was impressed with familial nature of everyone there. I have gone down the rabbit hole and found one of my ancestors to be Angus Galbraith, born in Greenock , Scotland in 1720. I look forward to exploring and researching this site for much more info.
Comments: I’m one of 10 children. My GG Grandfather was Henry Galbaith of Pennsylvania. He was a Carpenter and a teacher and fought in the Civil War. I’m looking deeper into my family history and I’m not finding his father and mother and I’d like to know when my family came to America and where and when they landed. Also, did they come from Scotland 🏴 or Ireland 🇮🇪 when they arrived. Thank you.
Admin reply: Dear Donald, Thank you for you comment. Off the top of my head I cannot answer your question about your GG Grandfather, Henry Galbraith of Pennsylvania. I would encourage you to go to join our society where you will have a wealth of information available to you in our databases. I would also encourage you to join Clan Galbraith's Facebook page where we share information.
Sincerely, Paul B. Galbraith President of Clan Galbraith Society

Comments: Hello, my name is Diana Galbraith and my father was Andrew Donald Galbraith born in Philadelphia, PA, in 1928.
My great grandfather Galbraith emigrated from Ireland when he was 12, we think. We would like to know why the family lived in Ireland for a couple of generations.
Admin reply: Dear Diana, Thank you for your guestbook entry. I personally do not have the answer for you, however, I believe our Society does. I would encourage you to do two things: 1. join our Society. You can do that at clangalbraith.org. It only costs $45.00 for a 3 year membership. 2. Join our Clan Galbraith Facebook group. Between the two you will get answers to your questions and probably meet family you did not know you had.

Comments: Hi, my great-grandmother's name was Cecelia Galbraith born in East Stonehouse, Devon. I know my 4th great-grandfather Hugh (who seems to have alternatively spelled his surname as Gilbreath mostly but sometimes Gilbraith and Galbraith) was born in 1766 and married in Devon but don't know where he was born. I also have some records that indicated they possibly attended the Presbyterian church in Plymouth.
I'm very interested in finding out more especially as this is one my few lines which has the potential to NOT be English(!).
Comments: I am the eldest son of Robert Galbraith.
Grandson of Joseph Galbraith who's family have been traced back to Dunfanaghy, Donegal Ireland.
I believe this to be the settling point of Robert Galbraith, Laird of Culcreuch in 1622 after his exile to Ireland.
There are many Galbraith decendants in the greater Belfast area - all of whom have direct links to the settlers in Dunfanaghy.
Admin reply: Ryan, It was good to get your message. We would be very interested to see your lineage, especially if it goes back to Robert Galbraith our 17th chief. Currently we have no chief because we cannot find a documented line back to Robert. I look forward to hearing from you
