To access these GEDCOM files the reader will need specialist software. For the reader who does not already have it, which package to choose depends on taste and how much you want to pay etc. As the files are very basic it should not matter.

The files offered here are far from complete – so do check back for additions

  • HoCG_1983.ged — This is the family tree set out by Sir Patrick Grant in his 1982 book “History of Clan Grant”. Note that in the earlier multiple marriages, Sir Patrick did not specify which wife was the mother of which children.
  • Clanallan.ged — this pedigree was supplied to me by the late David Renwick Grant.

Fraser’s family Trees

These are the family trees set out in Sir William Fraser’s “Chiefs of Grant” (1883). The reference numbers allow the reader to match the entry with the mini-biography provided by Fraser, with the first number referring to the page number in volume 1 of the book

  • WF_Main.ged — This file includes not just the pedigree of the chiefs but also those cadet lines which he recognised as cadet branches and could specify where the branching occurred.
  • WF_Glenlochy.ged — The Glenlochy tree is now known to stem from a cadet line of Tullochgorm, but it is likely that he married the heiress of the MacRobbies.
  • More to follow.

Tullochgorm Family Trees

These are the family trees set out in the Tullochgorm Memoirs. In some cases I have added putative dates which should be regarded as a rough guide only

Bissett trees

The late Peter Grant of East Lavant did an immense amount of work on the Bissets (see that work on this site). These pedigrees present that aspect of his work in GEDCOM format.
