Surnames: Mcdonald MacDonald Bower Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BgC.2ACI/1275 Message Board Post: I am currently researching my family history and was wondering if anyone had any information about the MacDonalds of Duffus and of Croy Invernesshire. I have already gathered a lot of information Also one of my ancestors was a Mary Bower who died aged 72 according to the gravestone in Duffus cemetery, that would make her birth date around 1827. In my research I found that there was a minister called John Bower in the Duffus Church - The Kirk of St. Peters in 1737. I was wondering if there is a link?
