McNeill family « on: Sunday 16 January 05 22:13 GMT (UK) »
Alexander Mc Neill married Catherine McTaggart at Kilcalmonell and Kilberry 2/12/1854 Family then born in Argylshire. Can`t find birth of Alexander Mc Neill about 1826 it says father born Ardnamurchan on his first son`s birth certificate. On other census 1871 says Inverness shire. Stuck on this.
ancestors always seem to be just out of reach.....

Hi Thank you for information on clan gathering. From this site (rootschat)I have traced my g grandfather Alexander McNeill 1826 to Kinloch Moidart Ardnamurchan and found his father Angus c1775 Kinlochmoidart and his grandfather Angus McNeil c1745 but although he lived in Kinlochmoidart and was a sheep farmer I don't know where he was born.
