McRae family from Applecross

[jamcrae]

Hello
I'm a researcher in Canada looking for information on how to trace an ancestor: Kenneth McRae, born Applecross, Ross & Cromarty, around 1795. He married Catherine (Katherine or Kate) McKenzie..born same place.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andrea McRae

Hi Andrea

Welcome to Rootschat.
I'm searching for McRae's too ( in Kintail and Glenshiel ) and some of the sites that I've found useful are in my search are -

http://www.clan-macrae.org.uk/    This tells of the history of the MacRaes in Scotland and has a forum where you ask for help. There is a link to the Clan MacRae in Canada.

http://www.rootsweb.com/    Quite a lot of MacRae databases submitted in the Family Trees link to check out.

http://www.scotsorigins.com/   Search IGI births, christenings and marriages in the database...doesn't seem to be working at the moment but try later.

Hope this helps a little

Check out www.applecrossheritage.org.uk website - click on photographs and you will see a photo of a Ken McRae taken during the WW1.  I know this isn't the Ken McRae you are looking for, but perhaps he is a descendant of your Kenneth McRae.

Unfortuately have no details about these parents apart from their names but the time period is around yours.
