Bradley Stuick, Vice Chair wrote in thanks:
"What an amazing international project bringing together communities worldwide.

"We as a global community can all take pride in this project's efforts as, when you view this impressive presentation of the international connections to a larger global community, it becomes smaller, relatable and conceptually manageable following the thematic Scottish connections.

"I personally take pride in the Canadian; it is very well represented and presented, personally noting my own maternal great-grand parents form part of the Brown Clan!
