About the Clan Ayson Family Tree
From our original four families who came to New Zealand in 1853 and 1856 and produced twenty nine children between them, we now have over 6700 descendants in our Family Tree Maker programme.
To have such a large database to draw on is due to those before us who have recorded all births, deaths and marriages in great detail, and we are fortunate that this has been published in “The Ayson Story, Glenshee to Otago, 1853 – 2000.”
As a Clan there is so much that we can discover about ourselves just with the touch of a button or a swipe on a phone.
It would be incredible if our forebears could see how we access information about their journey and just how many thousands of people can say they link somehow to those four pioneer families.

The family tree is held in Family Tree Maker and synchronised with the family tree at Ancestry.com. We choose to store it at Ancestry.com as they specialise in the storage and security of family tree information, as well as the ability to synchronise all family tree information collected.
The family tree has been marked private so to view it, you will have to request a login by:
- reading the User Guidelines Document
- completing the Access Request Form
To be given access to the family tree, your name has to be on the family tree. One login per household will be granted. Your access will be as a Contributor as this is what has been approved by the Executive.
When we receive your request to access the family tree, we will determine your access requirements, and if granted, you will receive an email from ancestry.com with a link which will allow you to login.
The family tree software also allows us to associate photos and documents with individuals.
You will be able to run a couple of very basic family tree reports from Ancestry.com, however if you are looking for more comprehensive reports, please contact the family tree administrator who will be able to run reports from Family Tree Maker.
First Time Access
When your access is granted, you will then receive an email from ancestry.com with a link which will allow you to login. This could take a few days to be created as we rely on the Family Tree administrators to complete this task manually.
User Guidelines
We are keen to grow our tree information however it is essential that protocols are followed if you are granted access as a Contributor. Please make sure you read the User Guidelines Document which has been prepared to assist you.
