Clan Kerr of the United States and North America (CLANKERRUS) is a non-profit corporation in the State of Florida. Activities began informally in the early 1990’s along the American East Coast but did not involve significant numbers until those associating with our endeavors reached into the hundreds, at which time it was decided to form a national organization. Clan Kerr membership today surpasses three hundred in the United States and several foreign countries and continues to grow rapidly. We use the crests, coats of arms, badges, tartans and paraphernalia traditionally associated with all Kerrs and its septs worldwide.
