All may not be lost  ;)

1871 Census is missing except for lots 34 and 36. A book entitled The Index to the 1870 Commissioner of Public Land's Report is a census substitute and is available from the Prince Edward Island Genealogical Society. Information about the book can be found at http://www.peibooks.ca/GenealogyResources/1870CommissionerReport.html

Aghadowey - Thanks so much!  Having trouble opening the peibooks link but will keep trying. Interestingly, the family tree link you sent me does not have my actual branch-Malcolm Mckendrick- b abt 1803 in PEI, son of Malcolm John McKendrick and Nancy McKay. Buts lots of other interesting information to sort thru.

Thanks again!  Lisa

Another question; not sure if it should be here or another post -

I am wondering if anyone would know if I could get a picture of the following as I am in Pennsylvania and not likely able to ever get to PEI and my McKendricks and Stewarts appear to have been on the Annabella:

A cairn to the Annabella stands in Cabot Park at Malpeque (formerly Princetown) the inscription on which is as follows:

"On this shore the barque Annabella from Campbellton, Scotland was wrecked in October 1770. Her passengers, having lost all their possessions found welcome shelters in French homes. In spite of extreme hardship, these emigrants and their descendants by their faith and courage made worthy contributions to the development of a progressive community, province and country.
Sixty families arrived on the Annabella and included such names as: Allanby, Carr, English, Inglis, MacKendrick, MacNeill, MacMillan, MacIntosh, MacArthur, MacDougall, MacGougan, MacKay, MacKenzie, Murphy, Montgomery, Sinclair, Stewart, Smith, Ramsay, Taylor and Woodside.
"To honour these pioneers and commemorate the arrival of the Annabella this monument is erected. September 6, 1964"

Thanks again!!  Lisa
