Hi Rod

Welcome to RootsChat  :)

Alexr McKenzie 11
Magdalan McKenzie 8
Robrt McKenzie 6
Hellen McKenzie 2
Magdalin Donald 82, mother in law b. Alva, Banffshire

A few more children show for parents on IGI, in all cases with mother Ann showing as Mellis:

3. GEORGE ANGUS MCKENZIE Birth: 20 NOV 1836 Old Machar, Aberdeen

Hi Rod and Monica

I am a 4x Gr Grdchild of Robert McK b 1844, living in Vic Aust.
I am trying to seek earlier ancestors beyond Roberts parents - John (b1806) married abt 1826 Ann (Mellis). Johns parents James (abt 1776) married Jean Bain (had 6 children) in Portsoy, Fordye Banffshire.
Are you still available to link and are you still searching ancestors? Would love to connect with other relo's
look forward to connecting, regards
Tanya McK

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
