Hi Heather. Reading your posts on the MacIsaacs, I see that we're related, albeit distantly. Mary MacIssac (who married Alexander "Alasdair Iana Ruaidh" of Lake Ainslee is my gggggreat uncle's(Roderick MacIsaac m. Janet MacDonald) child. Whew!!
I've been researching the family for a few years and have been able to get as far back as my ggggggreat grandfather, Neil who came from the Isle of Canna. There's a few holes in my genealogy but I've got enough information to feel reasonably comfortable with what I have.
In one of your posts, you seem confident of your geneaology. Were you able to obtain an proofs? And if so, what were they? I'm not sure what constitutes proofs but from what I've read, it's important to site proofs if you publish your geneaology.
Also, you mentioned you had old photos from relatives in NS from the 1870's. Would these be MacIsaacs? And if so, would you be willing to share them with me? I only have a couple of pictures of my grandmother and nothing else. It would be wonderful to have more pictures!
Thanks for your help Heather and I hope to hear from you soon.
