Hi Listers from New Zealand, I am interested in knowing if there is anyone researching the following, THOMAS MCDONALD born abt 1768-1771 Blairgowrie who married Katherine McIntyre about 1793. Some of their children were; THOMAS 1794 Blairgowrie. JAMES 1796 JANNET 1797 WILLIAM 1798 JOHN 1800 ALEXANDER 1803 Using the naming pattern Thomas's father would possibly be Thomas and would possibly be born 1730s-1740s, father not a Thomas. I have compiled the Blairgowrie Mcdonalds in the Batch Numbers on the IGI and there is a large gap where the generations born 1740 to 1780's are missing from the records. Is there anyone please who has researched in this gap, obviously in the original records. Any help or suggestions welcomed, Thanks, Jan Robb.
