The genealogy of Jean Thomson Harris, by PDG Ian Campbell, D1230 Scotland

Editors note: This scholarly presentation was created, in 2008, by RGHF member and past district governor, Ian Campbell, Scotland. In 2001, soon after what was to be Rotary Global History began, the founder, Jack Selway, received a question from a Rotarian, Maureen Bond, then of Zimbabwe. She inquired if we knew anything about Paul Harris' wife, Jean. Not much could be found either at RI or in our files.

Based on this request we created an entire website, the one you're visiting now, to gather everything that Paul Harris had written. Soon afterward, in searching for material, a young man in Scotland was discovered who had created a section devoted to Jean. That was Calum Thomson (no relation) living quite near where Jean Thomson Harris was born. Calum's material became part of this section on Jean. He soon joined Rotary, became chairman of RGHF, president of his own club, and continues to work on Rotary Global History. Another Rotarian, the late Ed Lucas of Edinburgh, Scotland, provided much additional information.

Now PDG Ian Campbell has created a research document which will serve us for the ages.
