A Message from the Clan President -
Paul Munshower
President,
Clan Galbraith Society
Dear Clan Galbraith Society Member,
I was recently contacted by one of our members asking for a list of historic Galbraith tourist
attractions to see in Scotland during an upcoming trip. Unfortunately, looking around I was unable
to find a consolidated product to give out. About the same time, I saw that the Scottish Government
was offering grants to groups like ours to promote Scotland and Scottish traditions. So, I decided
to apply for a couple of grants. These are the grant proposals I wrote up:
1. A grant to produce a small book of historic Galbraith and associated attractions to see in
Scotland during trips. If we get the grant every member will receive a free hardcopy. If we don’t
get the grant, we will produce a digital book.
2. A grant to expand our DNA testing to Galbraith males living in Scotland.
We already have a strong DNA team, but if you would like to serve on the Book grant proposal team,
please let me know. We need a Project Head, writers, editors and individuals who have visited some
of these sites and would like to tell their tales.
If you would like to serve on the Book Project, please contact me at president@clangalbraith.org.
Thank you.
Paul Munshower

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.
