Convener's Message:

  My name is Merle H Gordon III, and I have recently taken on the role of Convener for the House of Gordon Maine. I’m in high hopes Mike Davis who will continue as Vice Convener for Maine, and myself will build the House of Gordon Maine into one of the largest Houses here in the United States. I know many families do not realize their history, and that is one of the great things about the House of Gordon, family History and being proud of it. It will be in my hopes to not only have the representation of the Gordon family and their septs in place at the Highland Games, but to also work towards family gatherings, work shops on family history and meetings where we can get involved with the community as a family. I hope to also work closely with the Gordon DNA Project, in order to update our family members on new findings. Recently at a Gordon Family reunion I had the great chance to meet Jim Gordon from the DNA project, they have worked hard to help Gordon’s find their tie into the past.

   I will be having a tent at the Maine Highland games this year, so I hope to meet many of you at this time. I live in Norridgewock Maine and my door is always open. Anyone needing help on their family line please do not hesitate to ask for my help. My phone number is 207-634-3727. I hope we can all partake by building this into a new beginning for the House of Gordon in Maine.

Vice-Convener's Message

For years I have been striving to rekindle interest in our family heritage. When I was a child, there was never any discussion around the dinner table regarding our history. I have always been a history buff and I believe the quest for knowledge of our past is what started me in that direction. For the past 10 years I have been immersing myself in Scottish and Gordon history. I attend all of the highland games within driving distance and over the past few years other members of my family have started to show a strong interest and have been attending with me. I have two daughters aged 8 and 6. They share my excitement regarding all things Scottish. Although they do not understand everything yet, they are seeing the importance of keeping our history alive as well as seeing the joy that it brings to their family. The rekindling has begun...
