Hello I could not let your message pass without a comment about my interest also in the MacIver name. My g-g-grandparents named their 2nd son William Charles McIver Arbuckle. I have other names that were Mc back in the early 1800's but are now Mac so Mc/MacIver probably changed over the years also. The names William & Charles I can see where they came from (his Father's family) but I am suspecting the McIver was from his Mother's family. Her maiden name was Marion McLeod. William Charles McIver Arbuckle was born in North Uist in 1843. If you ever find yours have a Mc/MacLeod connection, I would like to hear from you. Many Thanks Lorraine Ottawa, Canada
