Clan Blair Scotland Trip:The Clan Blair Scotland Trip has been postponed to 2011 now due to a large deposit required late last year. This was unexpected and didn't allow us enough time to confirm participants and collect the deposits. So, we have rescheduled the trip for 2011 with the same itinerary and will be asking participants for commitments and deposits by mid 2010. Watch our pages for updates on the itinerary and costs.

2010 Annual General Meeting:Clan Blair announces that our next AGM will happen at the Greenville Scottish Games the weekend of June 5th and 6th. More details will be announced about our annual event as plans are confirmed. So, reserve the dates and plan to join us. Watch the site for updates at CBS 2010 AGM.

Blair Bruidhinn now Electronic:CBS has now moved to an electronic version of our newsletter for our members that are capable. We've had an outstanding response from the first issue released electronically in February. This will save the society significantly in the printing and postage expense, allowing us to continue to work to keep the dues at its low cost. To be added to the electronic delivery list, contact the Membership Chair or subscribe from our Members Only section. See the Members Only area for more information.

Clan Blair Photo Gallery:We have another new feature for our members and friends! Recently launched is our Clan Blair Society Photo Gallery.

Go to Gallery.ClanBlair.net to visit the gallery.

BLAIR DNA Project:Recently, the administrator of the Blair DNA Project announced that the project web pages are being moved to a new domain, BlairDNA.com. All information regarding this project will now reside at BlairDNA.com. If you are a male Blair descendant and haven't submitted your DNA, be sure to join this project. All results are confidential and only shared with your permission. There have been some amazing results!

BLAIR DNA Project: There is a very interesting genealogical project happening for Blair descendants right now. John A. Blair, owner of the BlairGenealogy.com domain has taken on administration of a Family Tree DNA project for the BLAIRs. To date there are 73 direct male Blair descendants that have submitted test kits of their DNA for analysis. The results are very interesting and for some, surprising! I won't give it away here, but I suggest that if you are a direct descendant (Surname Blair) of the Blairs, and male, that you investigate this project. If you are a female researcher, Family Tree DNA is working on the other side of the chromosones for you. In the meantime, if you know of a direct male descendant, encourage them to participate. Already there are several lines that now know, through this project, that they have a direct connection to the Blair of Blair line in Scotland. Other submitter lines have found new cousins! Both the Clan Blair Society and Blair Society for Genealogical Research endorse this project. BLAIR DNA Project
