Can someone please help me trace past ministers of the Duncansburgh Church in Fort William. I am looking to see if Duncan McMichael and his brother David Colville McMichael were both at some time ministers at this church. I have old family notes to say they were but need to confirm.
David, I think, in 1922. Duncan in about 1890?

Click on the link, then scroll down until you come to the MacMichaels. The entries themselves contain links to the Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae which gives biographical details of Church of Scotland ministers.

Thanks, GR2. Your link is great, works fine and I found the Mcmichael references but the links to the Fasti pages would not open. I'll keep trying. Much obliged, it certainly proves both brothers were in fact Ministers there.

Thanks, Alan Boyd, good references, much obliged.

The volumes of the Fasti referred to for David were 7 and 8.
The volumes for Duncan were 5, 7 and 8.
You'll find them in the indexes at the end, but I've entered them in the search facility in the volumes in these links.
