What Is the Telfer Wiki?
This is a digital family tree and history archive for the Telfer family line — starting from John Telfer (born around 1731 in Castleton, Scotland) all the way down to the latest generation born today.
Think of it as a Wikipedia for our family. Every person has their own page with their story, photos, dates, and connections to other family members. The family tree shows how everyone is related, and you can click through to explore generations of history.

The Family in Numbers
Who Built This?
This site was put together by Mark Telfer — one of the latest generation of the family tree. It's a personal project to preserve and share the family's history with relatives near and far.
The data comes from years of family history research — old records, certificates, photos, family stories, and online archives. It's a work in progress: new people get added, old information gets corrected, and there are always more branches to explore.
A Work in Progress
Family history is never really finished. If you notice something wrong, have information to share, or want to add a family member who's not here yet — get in touch. Every contribution helps make the story more complete.
