NEWS -

Christopher Westall Galbreath Jr. -
We are sad to report the passing of long time Clan Galbraith member Chris Galbreath (no. 809) on 27 Jan 2023. Chris was a former Naval aviator and a retired Volusia County (Florida) Sheriff. According to former Clan President, Carol Kiefer, "Chris had a long passion for genealogy and he is the one who advised that you need to fill out every leaf and every twig on that tree to find out how you are related to other people". Chris was cousin to several Clan members as he was in our Group 1 DNA group. We extend our sincere condolences to his family. He will most definitely be missed.
This is an interesting and great example of why we are interested in DNA. Some theorists have surmised that Galbraith may be a descriptive surname of people who lived in the ancient kingdom of Strathclyde and spoke Cumbric, a now extinct language close to early Welsh and spoken by early Britons, and not just one family. - DNA Testing Dispels a Genealogical Myth
