FAQs
Clan Guthrie membership help
How do I renew my membership?
You can easily renew before your expiration date by going to the Account page > Subscriptions tab. Then, next to your current subscription, click the option that says "Renew". Doing this will take you to a page where you can pay for an additional term of your subscription.
If your subscription happens to fully expire, then you can repurchase it. If you would like to do that, you can do one of the following:
- Login to the site and then navigate back to the registration page for that membership and signup again.
- Login to the site and go to the Account page > Subscriptions tab. Then, next to your old subscription, click the option that says, "Subscribe". That will take you to the registration page for that membership.

Do I have to have the last name "Guthrie" to join?

How can Clan Guthrie help me research my family history?

Where does the name "Guthrie" come from?
The name is rooted deep in Scottish history, with ancestral lands originating in Angus (Forfarshire), Scotland. Legend traces the name to a humorous exchange with a Scottish king ("Gut three"), though historical records date the Lairds of Guthrie back to the 12th and 13th centuries, including ties to William Wallace and Robert the Bruce.
