My g.g.g.grandmother was Janet MacKay born in Strath Achvaich, Christine thinks Janets father could have been David MacKay, and her mother was Marion McIntosh married abt 1791 in Dornoch children were Janet 1792, Catherine 1794, John 1800, Christy 1804 and Mary 1806, the IGI also has a Donald born 1796. I believe Christine is most likely right about this David MacKay being Janets father. Janet married Donald Gibson in 1823 in Dornoch. Does any of this sound familiar to you? If so let me know.
