LISTERS: THIS IS A LONG-SHOT! Looking for any connections to this family. In July 2000, in an e-mail correspondence, Margaret Brereton of Australia related that a Donald McKenzie lived and worked in the Ruilick area of Ross-shire in the parish of Kilmorack, Inverness, Scotland. Unlike his brother, William, who left Scotland for Nova Scotia in 1801 with his family, Donald remained in Scotland. Interestingly, Fort William is just along the road from the Ruilick, Kilmorack district, and also the Ross-shire district. According to the OPR (Old Parish Registers) in Urray, Scotland, " William was born to John McKenzie and Isobel Stewart in Balnain. He was their third child and was baptized on 2 April 1770 in the presence of the Congregation." I cannot find a similar baptism record for Donald MacKenzie (McKenzie). I am trying to make a connection with this Donald MacKenzie. Any help appreciated.
