Based on member feedback, the greatest areas of interest continue to be Fraser history and genealogy. Although it is not feasible for CFSC to undertake genealogical research, we try to assist members with their family research and are pleased to check their family tree information against a computer database of the 81 known branches descended from the earliest recorded Fraser family in Scotland. We regularly feature stories and genealogical charts of Fraser families in Scotland, as well as some of the early Fraser families who settled in Canada and elsewhere. The following is a summary of items covered in Canadian Explorer during the period from December 1995 to December 1999 inclusive.
Back issues are available to CFSC members, at cost.
