Clan Hunter Genealogy Project

Welcome to Clan Hunter Genealogy Project, a unique record of our Hunter ancestors. It is completely FREE to take part, just follow these steps.

Gather

Clan Hunter collects genealogical data on Hunter surnamed persons from our membership. The Clan does not have septs and surnames such as Hunt, Huntingdon, Huntsman etc. are English names not connected to our ancient Scottish family.

Share

Once you have undertaken research this data should then be submitted in a GEDCOM file to our Clan Chief. Your family records will then be checked and entered into our archive. Subsequent updates should be advised in a similar manner. We are unable to accept any other form of data collection. Please do not send WORD or Excel files or loose paper documents.

When you join Clan Hunter you have the option to permit access to your data to other members but this is accessible only through our genealogy team and where they deem it appropriate for the purposes of improving accuracy and extending knowledge.

We have a member only forum on facebook for members to communicate together and exchange research. The Clan Hunter genealogy team will publish general information in the Clan newsletters.

Check your surname

We wish to receive Hunter surnamed data only. If your grandmother was a Hunter for example, then submit the two generations back to her and then only Hunter surnamed individuals from this point as far back as you are able. This is the only information we shall enter into our records. There are many programs available for the creation of a GEDCOM file.

As a Non-Profit organisation we are unable to undertake individual research. Our volunteer team of members with genealogy skills work directly under the authority of our Clan Chief. Information from our database is secured offline and under the Chief’s authority.
