Why Avoch matters
Avoch on the Black Isle, Ross and Cromarty, has long been regarded by Clan Jack researchers as one of the strongest known concentrations of the Jack surname. For family historians, the place is a research clue that may help connect names found in parish registers, civil records, census returns, local histories, cemetery records, and wider Black Isle material.
Gravestones as research clues
These images are research aids. Inscriptions, dates, relationships, and cemetery details should be checked against original records and current cemetery information where possible.
Avoch, Rosehaugh and local tradition
The wider Black Isle setting includes Rosehaugh and Jack/Fletcher material preserved in Clan Jack history pages. The Rosehaugh page records the estate context, while the Brahan Seer material includes local tradition connected with Avoch, Rosehaugh, and James Jack Fletcher. That tradition is local-history context, not evidence of family relationship by itself.
Using this archive carefully
This archive provides Clan Jack grave and headstone material as a static research aid. Please treat it respectfully, avoid adding living-person details, and use it alongside the Jack Research Resources, Jack Research Areas, Genealogy & DNA, the DNA and Lineage Interest Register, and the DNA testing guide.

These Jack headstones are grouped by cemetery and first-name range. The photographs were taken in September 2010, so later burials and later monument changes may not be represented.
The A-B, C-D and other ranges refer to the first names or forenames of the Jack people recorded in the archive, not to different surnames.
