Hello Debbie,
I found this thread and joined RootsChat yesterday. This is a shot in the dark, but I am trying to find information on an Angus McDonald (b. abt 1760) and family. I have searched ScotlandsPeople, FindMyPast, MyHeritage, Ancestry, etc., but there is nothing on any member of this family. I read somewhere that the Sleat records prior to 1815 were destroyed which might explain the why. They may have been from Argyllshire, but after doing significant historical digging I think they likely came from Isleornsay, Skye before emigrating to Upper Canada in 1804. In any case, as you indicated you may have some records on people of the area, and perhaps McDonalds, I thought I would give it a try. If this is a no go then I’ll start a new thread.
Angus’ wife is Nancy McLaughlin(b.1764) and sons: Allan(1786), John(1788), Donald(1789), Archibald(1791), Hector(1800), and Neil(1802). I descend from Neil.
Many Thanks,
Adam on V.I.
