Early Origins of the McFetrich family

The surname McFetrich was first found in Antrim (Irish: Aontroim) located in the province of Ulster in present day Northern Ireland, where they held a family seat as chiefs in that county. Irish history, after the Norman Conquest of England, was strongly influenced by the invasion of Strongbow in 1172, almost equal to the enormous Irish cultural impact on England Scotland, Wales and the whole of Europe before the Norman Conquest from the 1st to 7th centuries. Many Irish clanns, sept names were intermixed and family groupings became almost indistinguishable. Traditionally, this surname is descended from King Colla Uais, one of the three famous Collas who ruled Ireland in the 3rd century, and being more directly descended from Cathach, brother of Criochan who was 11th in descent from King Colla Uais.
