Fletcher Family Research Bulletin

Research Policies and Queries

The Fletcher Family Research Bulletin serves as a clearinghouse to disseminate Fletcher genealogical data and to help Fletcher researchers everywhere link up with each other and share resources. Both primary and secondary source materials are published, as well as charts and histories still in the process of being verified by individual researchers. From time to time, research from individuals researching the same line is analyzed and published as a unit.

The editor does not assume responsibility for proving the validity of research conducted by subscribers and other contributors. Where possible, though, conflicting data is footnoted and additional references cited.

Because of the time involved in publishing a genealogy newsletter with a large and growing list of subscribers, the editor can no longer conduct private research for individuals or serve as a free lookup service for non-subscribers. Brief questions will be answered, preferably by e-mail, from current subscribers or from those contemplating a subscription. If using regular mail service, please enclose an SASE to speed up your request.
