Vince. This IS the family! Catherine MacVarish was the daughter of Angus MacVarish, and sister to Joseph MacVarish, my gggfather. Angus MacVarish would be my 4th great grandfather on my mother's side of the family. She was a McDonald, daughter of Roderick McDonald and Jennie Campbell. Rod and Jennie moved from Nova Scotia to Boston, where my mother was born, and then to Flint, Mich. Thanks!
