This site endeavours to comprehensively document the Fletcher families that can trace their ancestry to Argyllshire or Perthshire in Scotland. The best documented of these families is Clan Fletcher of the Braes of Glenorchy. This site includes the full text of Margaret Mason's book of "An Ancient Scottish Clan: The Fletchers of Glenorchy" that was originally published in the 1970s and first placed online at this address in 2001. However, other Fletcher families that may or may not claim ties with the chiefly family of the clan but with an ancestral link to Argyll also exist. This includes families from the Isle of Mull, Glenlyon, Easdale, Oban and Dalmally. Since then, and as a result of my own enquiries, the growth of online genealogy resources and even the advent of books.google.com, much more information has come to hand that requires a far more extensive and order approach to presenting this information (and is certainly better than sitting as paper on my living room floor!).

This site is also a response to various publications and websites that simply list "Fletcher" as a sept of the MacGregors or with only the briefest of description.

Of course, the various Fletcher families have not remained in Argyll or Perthshire or even in Scotland and there are various families in England, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and possibly in Hong Kong and Sri Lanka.

This site is also an opportunity for researchers to potentially track links with both the well established trees as well as linking some of the many "strays" that can be too easily found on familysearch or Scotlands People.

Rather than just being a GEDCOM download site or listing of names I have endeavoured to interlink people with places, dates, artefacts (a couple) and events. This has also been an excuse to apply wiki technology to a family heritage site - so it is a sort of experiment as well.
