About Alastair
Alastair James Chisholm is a native of Dumfries and Galloway in South West Scotland where the family goes back to at least 1800. He grew up in Scotland and eventually graduated in Mathematics from St Andrews University in 1968 then worked for some time in the UK including a few years up in Aberdeen.
At the end of the 70's he moved to Holland on contract and has stayed in the Low Countries ever since. His good wife Brigitte is Belgian and their two children William Alexander and Jennifer Anne are an interesting blend of Belgian and Scots; they are currently studying in Brussels.
He has recently retired after working all his life in IT, and is now reviving old interests including web development, hill-walking and family history. He currently helps out as volunteer webmaster with Pax Christi in Brussels and occasionally does work weeks with Trees for Life and the National Trust for Scotland (both highly recommended!).
Alastair joined the Clan Chisholm Society a few years ago after getting interested in family history and has developed a fair family tree back to 1800 from GROS records, but like many people is finding it difficult to progress any further.
He is honoured to take over from Bardon Higgins as webmaster of the Clan Chisholm website - don't hesitate to let him know of changes or updates you propose.
