Hi, I have struggled mightily to contact you. My family is the MacDougall's who immigrated to Finch. My gggrandmother was a Paterson from the village of Crackaig. If you want any information I can give to you what I know. Just contact me at: * and we can talk. I live on the west coast so am a neighbour!

Tricia, Your info is much appreciated. Please note I was in error on the use of Patterson as a second given name, I said Alex but meant Hector. Also interesting that he used most of his fathers choices of names with his offspring. Were they a trifle short of imagination? Any how I am now up to five generations so I better get busy filling them out (thanks to you).

my ggrandfather was born in scotland in 1837, susequently came to Finch. He married mary mcdermid there in 1863. His parents show as being alex(alexander?) mcdougall and flora patterson. His given names were hector patterson mcdougall. In the 1871 census they are still shown in Finch and now with five children, archibald 6, john 5, catherine & flora 2, coll newborn. My grandfather was hector donald mcdougall born in 1878. He susequently married and came west.
According to family lore my father, donald gordon macdougall was born in a covered wagon in cayley, alberta on their way to work in the mascot gold mine in keremeos, bc. So far i have been unable to locate either my grandmothers name or the location of alex & flora. note how they used the mothers maiden name as alex's second name. I am only too pleased to be of assistance and hope you may be able to assist me.  thank you for the time, Gordon Wallace MacDougall.
