Thank
you to Our Patrons
To our special
and loyal patrons and customers over the years who've contributed greatly
to our research and success, we'd like to say Thank you for your continued
support. While we cannot begin to list the millions of loyal and happy
customers who've helped us with our research, we would like to take a moment
to recognize but a few of those who've contributed and helped our family
history and heraldry research "beyond the call of duty" over the past 30
years.
Thank you
To Her Highness,
Princess Alexandria, Duchess of Kent who with an incredibly busy schedule,
graciously agreed to officiate and cut the ribbons at the opening of our
Edinburgh Family and Clan History booth on Princess Street in support of
ongoing research and the promotion of family history, genealogy and heraldry.
Thank you
To His Grace,
Duke of Gordon who in 1990, very kindly took the time and effort in a hectic
social schedule to personally appear, at our kiosk in the CNE in Toronto
to personally congratulate, thank and shake the hand of Hall of Names head

promotion of Clan History and Heraldry. The Hall of Names Clan Gordon history
