GRANT REUNION and TEA
In the mid 1700s our Grants left Scotland and arrived in Canada. In the two hundred and fifty years since, areas of our history became clouded, confused and even lost.
An interest in culture and history resulted in a decades long attempt to fill the many gaps. One of the persistent questions was, “Are ‘our’ Grants related to the Cuthbert Grants?”
In spite of the advances made restoring our history, it was not until the introduction of DNA testing that a definitive answer was provided. Some of our male Grants and some male descendants of Cuthbert Grant agreed to join the Clan Grant DNA Project. The results of those first tests declared there was “less than a 5% chance of a common ancestor in the last 4-500 years”. Effectively, the question was answered with another question: “If we’re not related to the Cuthbert Grants, who are we?” The same DNA results answered: We are the same line as the Chiefs of Grant. More specifically, we are the Glenlochy line (aka the MacRobbies) which traditionally holds that we descend from an illegitimate son of Robert Grant the Ambassador.
In 2011, the current Chief of Grant, Sir James Grant, stated his intention to visit Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in July of 2012, to officially include the Cuthbert Grants as a Sept of Clan Grant.
Following that announcement, a request was made for an audience between our Grants and our distant kinsman, the Chief of Grant. The result is the Grant Reunion Tea with guests of honour, Sir James Grant the Lord Strathspey and Mrs. Judy Lewis; Friday, July 13, 2012, at the Fort Garry Hotel, Winnipeg, Manitoba. After a 250 year separation between our Grant families of Scotland and those of North America, this occasion is genuinely an historical reunion.
This reunion is open to all descendants of William Grant of Trois-Rivières and his relations. If you are uncertain whether you are a member of this Grant family, perhaps the website, http://www.william-grant-of-trois-rivieres-genealogy.ca/index.html , will help.
