I have Probate Documents for Will of Archibald Fletcher, Gore NZ. What information do you need? He was my grandmother's father and I am seeking information about the family in Scotland and New Zealand.

Well, not "sad", as such.    :D  ;D

"noelaj" only needs to make 2 more posts here (just sending a couple of 'smiley faces' will do) -- and then you can connect with each other via PM.   ;)

excellent work but I have sources(unconfirmed) of different parentage.
I assume yours are verified by death / marriage cretificates

I have New Zealand death certificates for Archibald Fletcher and Agnes Fletcher.
I am interested in whether I can use this RootsChat.com to ask for information for the above.  Both were born in Scotland so is there a more appropriate Chat forum? :)

Hi noelaj

Sure ... you can get all sorts of wonderful help here on RootsChat ~ it's the best !   ;)

And the Scotland boards, are just a few clicks away.
Simply go to the top of this page and click on the link  (left-hand side) >> "Research in Other Countries".   Then scroll up a bit where you'll see "Scotland General" and the associated "child boards".

Best of luck.   :)
