Hi Heather,
My MacDonald family (Loddy) are descendants of Lodyvick and Mary Grant. We have the same family somewhere along the line. If you are interested in any information that I have please let me know. I live in Canada.

Hi Ken and also Angus
Thanks for your referreal to Allan MacDonald and Westworld. I've been in touch with them and read Westorld on a regulal basis. It's been absolutely invaluable to me! I only began this a couple of years ago and stumbled into this incredible amount of "stuff" on the MacDonalds, MacIsaacs and Clan Ranald etc. It's been a bit overwhelming. I have at least 3 famillies of MacDonalds, all from Morar, Moidart and Lochaber. Give me a quick geography lesson....are these counties? In particular 2 places called (forgive me) "Suinesletter" and "Drimindarich" My ancester " Lodyvick (Loddy) MacDonald and his wife Mary Grant (Kinloid) was from Suinesletter and shipped out on "The Jane" in 1790 from Drumindarich to Prince edward Island (St. John's Island) Allan says "it is probably correct to assume that the Macdonalds on that ship from Rhetland and Suinsketter were brothers and sister and descendants of MacDonald of Morar the remnants of 'Rhetland' Captain Allan Macdonald of Rhetland, son of Angus, son of Allan Og, and brother of allan Roy VII of Morar. " If this sounds slightly convoluted its because it is. I don't fully understand the connection...again I plead my novice stature in thesematters. Can anyone straighten me out? Where is Rhetland?
?

I'm aware of the MacDougals and their relation to the MacDonalds of Morar. There are also MacDougals and MacDonells in my family from Lochaber who family tradition says are related. My gg aunt, Mary MacIsaac married Alexander "Alasdair Ruaidh" MacDougall, born in Lake ainsleNova Scotia.

Hi this family Lodyvick (Loddy) MacDonald and his wife Mary Grant (Kinloid) was from Suinesletter and shipped out on "The Jane" in 1790 from Drumindarich to Prince Edward Island (St. John's Island) are also part of my family. Most of them settled in Nova Scotia. I don't know how much information you have but I have some. If you are interested let me know.
I live in Ontario but was born in Nova Scotia.
