    3. Hi Anne and All. Anne in regard to your update to the Orkney GenWeb site. The following is a site in Sask. Canada that has a well known Orkney name. This is taken inpart from a book intitled (What's in a name) the story behind Saskatchewan place names. Flett's Springs....The Fletts, Selkirk settlers came west in1875 with their five children In 1887 the Fletts homesteaded West of Melfort Sask.by the large springs which today still bear their name. The post office was at John's home. His wife who operated it, was the daughter of John Bannerman. This family went on to become one of the best known and respected of the oldtime pioneers of Northeastern Sask. What made this name place more interesting to me was that my wife's maiden name is Flett. Her father George Abdrew Flett was born at (Northbigging) Harray Orkney and her mother Maggie Baikie Craigie was born at (Runas) Harry. I hope this may be of some use. Don Baugh Saskatoon Sask.
