    Hello James100,
    Welcome to Ancestry Aid. We are delighted you have joined us here.
    I'm sure someone will be able to help you.I just happen to have a book called Bobby Tulloch's Shetland and it mentions Fetlar.(but no place names). Have you googled "place names in Fetlar. Shetland Isles"?
    try Main Page - Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia
    What period are you looking for?
    Here are some place names on Fetlar for 1611-1650:
    Aith, Clovdon, Clothen, Crosbister
    Faireiwell, Funzie, Gord, Gruting, Hammer, Houll, Housegasettler, Langhouse. Lugondeil etc etc.... got a long list(amazing for such a wee island)
    Here's another site Fetlar - The Garden of Shetland

    p
    s. my avatar... snowdrops on Fetlar.

    If you click on images and then put Fetlar into a Google search you get the most amazing photos and it seems the museum on Fetlar has good stuff.
    Will try to put on two photos for youimagesfetlar.jpg
