GETTING
STARTED
So
you want to know more about your family's history? You've come to
the right place! Many of the members of our society are avid genealogists.
Many have shared their findings on websites, at events, in Keith
& Kin, and even in various books on the subject. And we
gladly welcome you into our dialogue on the genealogy of the Keith
family and its various spellings and clan septs.
The Internet
has revolutionized genealogy in a number of ways - from online genealogies
to discussion forums. It is our objective to help members research,
record and publish their genealogy. We hope that this website will
serve as a good starting point.
