Clan Baird Society Worldwide (originally Baird Family Society), is a non-profit, worldwide organization, which began forming in the late 1960’s and was finally established, with the blessing of the Honourable Lord Lyon King of Arms, in 1972. The founders are Frances and Byron Baird of Florida and our Commander’s grandfather, James Ian Baird of Ury and Lochwood, 2nd Viscount Stonehaven and later 12th Earl of Kintore and Chief of Clan Keith. The Earl of Kintore and his children have continued to support the Society through the years, as they still do.

Clan Baird ENROLLMENT

Commander Baird invites you to join the clan database.

If you were born Bards, Beards, Beardens, Beairds, Barrs, or other similar variant, have become a Baird through marriage or had a Baird parent or grandparent, you are already a clan member and are eligible and encouraged to enroll. We also welcome our Naesmyths, MacWard, Wards, Bayards, Bayrds, Beirds, Bardes, and the many other spellings of the Colonies where we were sent at differing times and after different Risings and Wars.

 

It is our mission to bring the worldwide Clan Baird

back together as a unified family.
