Mary, There are Macisaac's from Eigg who now live in Fort William........ By the way spelling does NOT matter, my Macisaacs are from Kinlochmoidart/Glen Uig/Smirsary and around there.. I will get you the address's and telephone numbers... When did your Macisaac's come to the USA? By the way many changed their name from Mac/McIsaac to Macdonald/Mcdonald. It was common to do that back then, as mine did in 1852.... ..........Peter At 07:59 AM 5/9/00 -0400, you wrote: >Hi, > Could someone please confirm that the Isle of Eigg is in Inverness > county? > > I am researching McIsaacs from the Isle of Eigg.
