Donald Macdonald of morven argyll wife Janet Macintyre

[Birky]

This Donald Macdonald is supposedly from the Macdonalds of Glencoe  - the Achtriachtain branch.   He was born in Invernesshire.   Were his parents Duncan Macdonald and Mary Cumming in Kirkhill parish.   I only realise now that there was some chat over this Donald Macdonald in Morven some years ago.   Has anyone progressed any further?

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

Can you include some dates please - birth/marriage etc

Hello Carole

Donald Macdonald was born Invernesshire c1792 and married Janet Macintyre in Morven in 1817.   The eldest son Duncan was born Morven in 1818 and that is the line of descent I am following.   The family belonged to the Achtriachtan branch of the Macdonalds of Glencoe.   I am trying to trace the family back to there.   What I have is a line of descent from John Macdonald , Macdonald of Achtriachtain, senior tacksman to Maciain 12th.   He was born c1640.   The chart I have is missing odd generations and some of it may just be guesswork when it was composed late 1800s.
Are you following these same Macdonalds and is this information any help
