Scotland / Is Mackdonald the same as Macdonald?
« on: Saturday 30 March 24 19:52 GMT (UK) »
Working on a Macdonald name study, I found that there a large number of "Mackdonald"s in the census records in England, especially in London. I'd assumed it was a mistake by English census recorders.
But then I discovered this website in Ireland
https://www.mackdonald.com/
Which has got me wondering again - was there ever a real branch of the Clan Donald that used the "mack" instead of "mac"? - and was it mainly in Ireland?
All suggestions welcome!
