The aim of the Clan Mackenzie Society of New Zealand Incorporated is to promote friendship and genealogical interest. We send four newsletters per year to financial members and meet officially once per year for a combined social gathering and AGM.
Communications are kept up with the MacKenzie Societies of the UK, Australia, Canada, Americas, and Nova Scotia. Membership is open to all MacKenzies and septs of MacKenzies, any descendants of the above, or anyone who has an interest or is a friend. There are variations in the spellings of these names, especially in the Mc, Mac, M' as is so with the name MacKenzie. The variations in the spelling of MacKenzie come from the translation of the Gaelic MhicCoineach into English.
