Yes, but the available NS vital stats records all start at 1864 and if Janet was 19 in the 1871 census she would have been born c.1852. Any way to find earlier records? Does anyone know of someone else who has researched or is also researching these families? Unless I can make some connections here I am stuck at ggf's wedding in 1873- a long way from determining his origins in Scotland. Thanks again for ANY info.

Keep in mind that the John MacDonald I'm talking about would have been a grandfather to Catherine MacDonald who was born in 1870. So "born c1800" is the right time frame. I have an account that I believe is accurate of Catherine's family that was written by my one of my great aunts. Catherine's great grandfather came from Scotland in about 1790, and was named Ruardidh Mhic Alastair Og MacDonald. The sequence I am looking at is: - Ruardidh Mhic Alastair Og - from Scotland in 1790 ggrandfather of Catherine - John MacDonald - grandfather of Catherine, married Catherine MacGillivray - Roderick (Rory) MacDonald - father of Catherine - Catherine MacDonald - born 1870 in Bailey's Brook The only person I have a DOB for here is Catherine.

But there are so many MacDonalds and MacGillivrays! My great grandmother was Catherine MacDonald, born 1870 in Bailey's Brook. Her parents were Roderick (Rory?) MacDonald and Mary McKinnon. I believe Roderick's parents were John MacDonald and Catherine MacGillivray. How does this match up with your data? The family story is that we are descended from Alastair Og MacDonald, who came over from Scotland in 1790. Do you know anything about that?

His birth place is listed as Pictou NS and his parents as Donald and Margaret McDonald. The witnesses were Hector McLean of Watford ON and Ellen McTaggart of Ekfrid ON. The 1871 Ontario census Lambton Co, Brooke Div lists Donald McDonald(63), Margaret(60),Alexander(28),John(26) and Janet(19) all born in NS. I believe this is my ggfather's family( or part of it). Could this be the Donald McDonald of E.Br.East River and Margaret McLean of McLennan's Mtn who were married 11 Nov 1834 by Rev John McRae? Were there other children? Ellen, perhaps? When did they move to Ontario? Who were Donald's and Margaret's parents? When and how did their families arrive in NS? Any information, either confirming or ruling out a connection, welcome. Thanks in advance for any hints on how to find info back past about 1871. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
