The Snodgrass Clan Society was founded in August 1977 by Laurence Elder Snodgrass (1918-1978), a late resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Scott F. Hosier Jr. The Society was incorporated in 1979 in the State of Indiana as a non-profit organization, under the leadership of Scott F. Hosier (covenor/president). The Society publishes a genealogy journal in April and October. They also publish a Family Name Registry in April with an addendum in October. The Registry lists names of members and the individuals each is researching. Their tartan was granted by the Court of the Lord Lyon in 1978. The Society became defunct before 1988, but was reactivated under the leadership of Paul D. Snodgrass. Today the Society is an unincorporated, non-profit organization with members throughout Australia, Canada, the Irish Republic, North Ireland, Scotland, the United States of America, and West Africa.
