"The Ryan Rag" is the newsletter of Clan Ryan Australia and is currently mailed to members quarterly. It relies on member contributions to provide current and historical content. Trials are underway of sending out the Rag in electronic form as an email attachment (more on this option soon). This page gives contact details for making your contribution and contains past newsletters that can be downloaded.
The Editor of "The Ryan Rag" is Berniece Ryan-Charles. The editor can be contacted via email or via the contact details provided in the newsletter. Please contact her with any queries or contributions.
All members are encouraged to submit contributions to the quarterly newsletter. Contributions can be about anything from family history stories, anecdotes, current events or anything else that may be of interest to the greater Ryan Family.
