SCATCHARD or SCATCHERD
Family Tree in NORTH AMERICA
Scatch*rd cousins: April 13, 2008: Has anyone else received this ad in the mail? I can't imagine who put this together or how they did it but the trivia items mentioned regarding Bertha, Laura and Henry are enticing. What scares me, however, are the disclaimers down the left column: Pictures do not denote Scatchard family members unless otherwise noted -and- This book is not about your Scatchard family but about the entire Scatchard family nationwide. Hmmm? Not for my money, but should anyone purchase it, please send over anything interesting you find out.
Most scholars of Scatchard/Scatcherd genealogy agree that there are over 60 variations on the spelling of the family name. Most were penned in the 18th and 19th centuries when literate church clergy in the West Riding district of Yorkshire, England, wrote down the names of parish members for them during christenings, marriages and funerals. But by far the two most common spellings are Scatchard and Scatcherd. These two are so similar that, going back, we have found them to be often inter-changable. ARDs moved to ERD and vice verse, but it's all the same family. Click on the names at the top to jump to the Tree of your choice.
If you are a Scatchard/Scatcherd and are not represented on one of these Trees, I want to hear
from you. As for Tree members, please send over any additions or corrections AND any interesting facts about relative's
lives. As you can see, we still have a lot of information missing.
