WELCOME TO THE NORTH AMERICAN FAMILY TREE> MENA SCATCHARD

Yes, it has finally happened. The Andrew and Brenda Scatchard family from Ripon, Yorkshire has sent us our first A-R-D immigrant since Dr. Walter Scatchard showed up in B.C. Canada in 1907. Her name is Mena Scatchard, she's a 20 year old young lady who has come over to the States to study Liberal Arts and run track with the assistance of an impressive $250,000 schlorship from Princeton University. Mena is a budding star and has already set a number of records for Princeton in the short time she's been here. Tons of pix and info on her is readily available on TikTok and Instagram as she has already become the most googled Scatchard since the NHL's Dave S hung up his hockey stick several years back. A great UK-centered bio link for Mena is offered here.


The five sons of Joseph Burdette circa 1870.

There were nine emigrants: Joe, Herbert, John, Thomas, Walter, Harry, Benjamin, Harriot and Margaret from the West Riding of Yorkshire, UK, who account for all Scatchards living in North America past and present. The five in red went on to produce Scatchard offspring. Click on the underlined text below to see each particular branch of the Tree.
