In 1995, Richard McMurtry produced a booklet on the history of the decades-long efforts of numerous family historians to uncover and record the history of the McM family. This booklet was a tribute to Alexander David McMurtrie whose vision of a worldwide collection of McM family history created, in collaboration with scores of individuals, what he called the MacMurtrie Clan Family Historical Records Worldwide, now the McMurtrie McMurtry Clan Family Records.
The pages that follow contain most of this booklet including photos of many of these historians.
A microfilm of 4000 pages from the MCFR was also produced in 1995 and distributed to a dozen libraries around the world. There is a copy of the table of contents of the microfilm and a page indicating where the microfilms were distributed. For many families, this microfilm has the information that will connect present generations with their Scottish or Irish origins in the 1600s, 1700s and early 1800s.
Below is the table of contents from the booklet. Click to see each chapter.
