CHISHOLM BIBLIOGRAPHY

1. CHISHOLM REFERENCE BOOKS :

- Alexander MACKENZIE, History of the Chisholms, Inverness, 1891.
Although I transcribed Jean Munro's History of the Clan Chisholm years ago and have all computer files ready, in English and in French, I cannot publish them, since I have never had any answer about the copyright, in spite of several attempts. Unhappy of having to withhold this information precious to all Chisholms, I transcribed the pages I possess (i.e. pages 120-132 & 135-226) of the History of the Chisholms, by Alexander Mackenzie, dated 1891, in replacement in 2002. The 2003 reprint, including Jean Munro's comments, by the Clan Chisholm Society, is out of print.
