Inverness / Re: Where are all the McKinnon's?

Dear Mckinnon,
I've just started my family genealogy on PEI & understand our ancestors [Donald Mckinnon/Euphemia Maclean] came from Skye, Church of Scotland & were gaelic-speaking.
There were a staggering number of Donald Mckinnons that emigrated from Scotland & I will make a note of any from Barra.
I do know that a lot of people from Barra, settled in C.B.I., so you might find more info there?
www.automated genealogy.com is the best resource for the Canadian census.
www.islandregister.com has searchable family trees online.
Here is the link to PEI censuses & some birth certificate, etc.:

P.S.The reason I replied was your Macduff crest- my ggrandmother was a Macduff from Dumfriesshire- they are on the islandregister under the Johnstone family tree.
