Initial Objectives and Goals set by our Chief Elect:
1. Gathering the Clan Muirhead
This is an ongoing process, but to date of this writing, we have over 200 active individual members.

2. Document history and genealogy of the Muirhead Clan
Our clan genealogy database is, at the time of this writing, over 15,000 entries.

3. Submit to The Lord Lyon Court for official recognition
We are beginning this process. We have started a savings account for the Muirhead Clan Society for this purpose. Monetary gifts are put into the Society's savings account to raise funds to help pay the cost of upcoming legal expenses and the fees for the petition of official recognition of the clan by Lord Lyon.
