Hi Jessieboo,
I tried to message you but it says I’m not allowed to send messages.
I’ve just ordered a DNA kit so will hopefully have results early next year.
Regards

Jessiboo, I am interested that you say you can confirm "without doubt" that Duncan was married to Mary Kempt.
Duncan is my 3x great grandfather and I can only find a record for him marrying Isobell McKenzie.
Looking through OPR records, there is no record for a marriage to Mary Kempt.
In fact searching for all marriage records across all of Scotland for records where the bride's name begins with "Kemp" during 1780-1805 there are no records where the grooms name is either Duncan or Fraser, so I would be really interested to know how you are able to "confirm without a doubt".
If my 3x Great grandfather has other descendants, I would love to be able to include them in my family tree.
Regards

Well since my email was edited out, please message me for more information.
I can confirm without a doubt that Duncan Fraser was married twice. Firstly, to Mary Kempt and secondly to Isabella McKenzie. Mary Kempt was the daughter of William Kempt and Mary Fraser.
Currently I'm working with DNA of about 30-40 people to see if the family story that Mary Fraser was married before to my ancestor is true. DNA looks to support this and if that's true, then Mary Fraser was also married to a Captain John McKenzie from Smithtown, Gairloch. They had a daughter named Annabella/Arabella McKenzie who married Murdoch Weaver McKenzie. They were my 4th great grandparents.
These families heavily migrated to Cape Breton and settled St. Ann's and Boularderie in Cape Breton. In the early 1850's a bunch of them decided to follow Reverend Norman McLeod and ended up in Australia for a year or so and then onto Waipu, New Zealand.
I can provide more information if anyone wants to private message me and we can switch to email or something. I have a few books from Cape Breton that also support the DNA.
