The Clan Jardine

Jardine Clan Contacts

The Jardine Clan Society was formed in 1976 as a focal point for people with Jardine in the name or in their ancestry. Brances in Canada, USA, New Zealand, and Australia have gatherings and there is an international gathering, usually in Dumfries, every second year - that is in 1999, 2001, and so on.

Origins
Members' researchers are establishing a Norse origin for the family. It seems Jardines came south from Scandinavia with a warrior called Ganger Rolf and took over Normandy from the French King. Two generations later they backed the Duke of Normandy in his successful bid to subdue the English in 1066.

Clan Identity
Jardines then moved to Westmorland in the north west of England, and on to the Lockerbie area where the family settled.

Jardines are one of 14 clans in the West march of the Borders recognized by the Scottish Parliment in July 1587.

Now nearly 200 family trees are on disc, reuniting some families who have spread workdwide. Each year members receive a newsletter reporting the activities of Jardines past and present. It is rated as one of the best newsletters produced by any clan society.
