    • What is this form for?

    The Council of Scottish Clans and Associations provides this form as a free service to the general public. It is used to put you in touch with one or more of COSCA's member Clans, Societies and Associations.

    Who does COSCA put you in contact with?

    When you fill out and submit the information inquiry form, an e-mail request will be generated that will be automatically forwarded to the membership coordinator for the selected member clan and/or societies.

    What should you expect in return?

    The membership coordinator should respond to your inquiry either by directly replying to your e-mail or by sending you a membership information packet describing the clan or society in detail.

    You should note that most clans and associations will require a membership in good standing before explicit genealogical or historical questions you may have will be answered.

    Obviously, COSCA can not guarantee that member clans, societies and associations will respond in a timely manner. (Please see COSCA's privacy statement for more detail.) If you have submitted an inquiry in the past and have not received a response, try submitting the inquiry again. If this inquiry also fails, please let the COSCA Secretary know.
