Lachlan,

History of the Mackenzies lists a "John Mor Og MacKENZIE (Ian Mor Aireach)" around pages 431-435 I think.  He does lists some names but no birth dates or locations.  I started looking at this line some time ago.  I came across some croft records while googling "North Erradale" and various gaelic names.

Murdoch is one of the sons listed in History, but I believe is mentioned in the croft records, born about 1775.  Life got in the way and still is.  So haven't looked further.

I'm aware of a few other Mackenzie testers.  A 3rd cousin and his mother to Sarah Dean.  They don't match me, but match to my half sister who isn't a Mackenzie. Lucas Cooper - https://www.ancestry.com.au/profile/040534A3-0006-0000-0000-000000000000?compareToTestId=511B1726-FB6B-455C-AC38-83AB1E9D0706

Sean Dean on paper is 9th cousin x2 removed from me.  Well, outside of normal autosomal DNA testing range.  Colin Mackenzie 2nd of Kilcoy being the common ancestor.  She is also from Snodgrass family.

There is also another Mackenzie tester that matchs my Aunt on my paternal side (my non Mackenzie side).  A Tara lecomber.  https://www.ancestry.com.au/profile/00DDE72E-0006-0000-0000-000000000000?compareToTestId=46F4FB2F-6AFF-4692-90AD-B673B03212AC.  She is a 6th 1/2 cousin 1x removed - Alexander Mackenzie 8th of Davochmaluag. 

Ha.  A quick google. 
CROFTS 1 -4, 6-8; NORTH ERRADALE

Lachlanw,

Concerning Y-DNA.  If you go to the MacKenzie/McKenzie project on Familytreedna, you'll find a person who has Alexander Kenneth Mackenzie as their "Paternal Ancestor Name" within the CORE.  This Alexander Kenneth Mackenzie is here -> https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mackenzie-4031

The Y-DNA tester is not on WikiTree.  Just showing you and anyone who is interested which line this DNA comes from.  This tester should be encourage (or even someone else offer pay) to update his test to at least Y-dna111.

There are a also couple DNA Mackenzie groups on Facebook.  I'm a member of and so is Moira MacLean.

I'm the profile manager of https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mackenzie-3115

I dont share DNA with Moira or Gord.

Just to be clear Alexander Mackenzie, 3rd Bt of Gairloch [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mackenzie-2173] illegitimate daughter Janet married a John McPherson a not Alexander McPherson.  Also Alexander was not born about 12 July 1730 in Balvealie, Nigg.

Hi Saphorr,

Alexander Mackenzie didn't permenantly live at Gairloch.  I believe it was Conon Bridge.

There is a marriage parish record for "a" John MacPherson and Janet Mackenzie.   

Her name is under JANET MACKINZI at Inverness on 29 Nov 1793.  This couple had at least two daughters.  Ann and then Ann Reid...

My believe is there is at least two John Macpherson and Janet Mackenzies living around that region at that time.

John and Janet parents of Hector and Alexander died
07 Jun 1864 and 29 Aug 1869

Hi Jackie,

I recently begin working on the Poschiavo side of my family tree.  My ancestor that came to Australia was a Compagnoni whose are parents Giovani Tomaso COMPAGNONI and Giacomina SEMADENI.

If right, without going into further detail we are cousins about 7th. 

Orsolina SEMADENI is interesting.  Her daughter is listed on the 1911 Census as Niece to Pietro Rodolfo LARDI - Louise Anette SEMADENI.  From what I know Louise didn't have a sister. Her father was Hans Semadeni his fame being the pioneer of the Swiss-Italian rush of Pastry cooks / confectioners.  Have you found out anything more about Orsolina?

Jason.
