Noelle/Lynette There are MacDougalls out here but we have many spellings of the name and many places in which and from which to look! I am in Prince Edward Island, Canada, (East Coast) and I have a MacDougall family history which goes back to the late 1700's but I don't believe we have any identifiable mutual family members. My ancestors came from the Western Isles of Scotland as best I can cipher at this time although I have been yet unsuccessful at tracing the family back cross the Atlantic puddle. IF you by any chance find any link which takes your family lines to Eastern Canada please let me know and we'll try to help to make a clan connection. Best of luck in your quest.
