Dear Patricia and Peter, I would like some information on MCCaskil-MacDonald, but it would seem to be a different couple: > There was a familyof MacAskills in Harris in early 19th century, John MacAskill married to Christina Munro with children Murdo, Janet, Christina, John, Mary. > > Mudo emigrated to Cape Breton, Christina and John to Nova Scotia. > > There was a related MacDonald family in Harris, with daughter Helen who married Hugh MacDonald. They too went to Nova Scotia. Does anybody have mention of them? I would be grateful if you have any info, Jane -----Original Message----- From: Peter J.
