History and DNA

The use of selected
DNA markers for family history research is becoming more and
more common and sophisticated. Our Clan Sennachie,
Grahame Thom, is interested to hear from any member who has
had their DNA tested for genealogical purposes or who is
thinking of requesting a test. He can be contacted by clicking

Clan connections in Germany
Several of the sept
names of the Clan appear in records relating to present day
Germany; especially Thoms and Thom. Sennachie is interested in
hearing from anyone who has been able to find links from
Germany to Scotland for any families having sept
names.
Member, Martina
Thom, is trying to complete her family tree. She is
trying to establish the parents of Robert Thom who
married Margaret Ritchie in May 1807 at New Monkland in
Lanarkshire. They had at least three children, Robert in
November 1807, James in June 1809 and William in March
1811.
Martina would like
to make contact with anybody else researching Robert and
Margaret. If you can help please contact the Sennachie who will be happy to put
you in touch.

Treasurer needs
help!!
(And not with the
Accounts)
Society Treasurer
& Webmaster, Jon Hedges, is keen to develop his personal
family tree - if he ever finishes this website and has a
little more time on his hands. To quote Finegand - "You will
not know what to do with your time next year Jon!".
Jon is
the Great Great Grandson of George Thoms, the brother of
Patrick Hunter MacThomas Thoms, the 15th Chief of the Clan.
Using this and the Chief's family tree he has managed to trace
his ancestry back to the 1500's - click
here.
However there
lots of branches that still need filling in order to complete
the picture. If you have information that might help please
contact Jon via the following link - Treasurer.
