Hello Listers, This is my first post to this list. We're interested in the surnames MacIntyre and MacColl (or MacCaul) as they are the only ancestors we know for the moment that come from Argyll. Would they be in this list descendants of Donald Mac Intyre and Mary MacColl ? My grandmother, born in Chile, Ada MacIntyre, was the daughter of Nicol or Nicholas MacIntyre, and his second wife, Catherine Griffith(s). They married in Chile. Nicol MacIntyre (b 1843 ... d 1914 Valparaiso, Chile) had married before to Margaret MacIntyre, in Scotland, but not sure where. They had a son, Donald MacIntyre, born in 1873, Callander, Perthshire. (Have not found him at IGI/Family Search). Margaret MacIntyre died, and Nicol and his son Donald left to Chile. Nicol's father was Donald MacIntyre and his mother Mary MacColl. (These names were remembered by an uncle ... who also remembers the place of birth, Fort William. In IGI Fort William isn't in the list of parishes. Tynribbie was also mentioned. In Appin?). - - - - - The other possibility is that I have skipped a generation upwards ...(It would be Nicol, then Donald his father, and then Donald his grandfather ...) I have found two different marriages for Donald MacIntyre and Mary MacColl at IGI/Family Search, ... unless they had the children first and decided to marry eight years later ! ;-)] - Marriage of Donald MacIntyre and Mary MacColl, 3rd June 1832 at Lismore, Argyll - Christening of Anne Mac Intyre 17th Feb 1820 and of Donald MacIntyre chrs 16th April 1822, Kilmallie, Argyll . Father Donald MacIntyre Mother Mary MacColl Kilmallie seems to be next to Fort William - - - - - As I haven't been able to find Nicol or Nicholas MacIntyre's first marriage to Margaret MacIntyre, nor the birth of his son Donald, nor the death of his first wife, it seems to me rather impossible for the moment to discern who are Nicol's parents. Any help or information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Joanna Murdoch Born in Chile Living in France
