Hi Ruth,
It's been years since you posted but in case you're still looking, here we go.
I am descended from William Maclean and Margaret Macleod of Raasay. I did not they had a daughter -- Chirsty in your husband's tree. Most of this Maclean family went to Stornoway in Lewis after they were cleared from Screapadal in Raasay. However, I have been looking for the elder sons, Lachlan and Donald, who would have been your Chirsty's brothers. Have you been able to find evidence of Chirsty's existence?
Cheers,
Deirdre

Dear Deirdre,
Thank you for contacting me about Ruth MacLeod. Unfortunately, I am not working for Australian Unity anymore so I don't have Ruth's email.
If you like me, I can contact her through Facebook and send her your email. Be mindful that you will need to send me your email address because I don't have access to AU emails anymore. That is why I have created an account in Rootschat.com. ;)
You can contact me directly at gportugalf@gmail.com.
I am more than happy to help.
Warm regards,
Graciela
