Family Sites

If you haven't already guessed, the family means everything to us. And since launching this site in 1999, we've learned how much it means to so many Docherty's around the World!

There are five other areas in the Family section of the site, plus a new Forum for family members and friends around the world.

The Connecticut Clan features news and information about us. Dochertys Afar features news and photos from around the globe (...including our own direct family members in other states.) The History & Heritage and Coat of Arms areas provide background information and graphics. A new section has been added to provide you with links to other Docherty Family Sites on the Web.

Whether you carry the name or not, you're most welcome to explore and enjoy...consider yourself an honorary Docherty!

Click on the navigation to the left to reach those areas, or the Forum button at the top of every page.

You can now view the flags of each country's visitors that have spent time at dochertyfamily.com on the Dochertys Afar page.

The family name was originally spelled O'Dochartaigh and pronounced oh-DOCKH-har-tay. Over the years, the clan name was anglicized to a number of different variations. The "Docherty" spelling variation (adapted by the Scots) is the final ancient Gaelic version.

Researchers at the O'Dochartaigh World Headquarters in Buncrana, County Donegal have concluded that the name O'Dochartaigh means "destroyer", based on the battle actions at Tyr Conaill and is one of Europe's oldest surviving surnames (est. 880 A.D.)
