At about the year 1550, my family name FELT which was variously spelled FELTCH and FELCH and FELSE runs out of steam with no connection past Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, England. I have good reason to believe the original surname was the same as the Gaelic word for stag or some derivative. When I saw the Glenfiddich brand of whiskey, I wondered all the more about it. Since the Gaelic word "failte" for welcome sounds like my name, and since my family heraldry is a stag, I think I am on to something, but I don't know how to work to the next step. Who can help me figure this puzzle out? If there is a fee for your help, I am happy to pay it if I can afford it.
