Hi Sarah

I'm researching McDonald / Reid / Foxton / McKenzie / McPhee - gypsy travellers from Perthshire. Probably some crossover with your research I'm guessing...!

It links to a recent relative so I won't give details online but if you wish to contact me please feel free - I'm new to the site but think you can probably send me a private message via the site.

all the best,

Bec

I'm a McDonald and a gypsy! I am related to the Reid's, McPhee's, mckenzie etc. I know them all! Most Mackenzie's live in Aberdeenshire, Mcdonalds are all over the place in Perth, Angus, Aberdeenshire etc. The Mcphees I will not mention where you will find them.
