I have added several people to this chart and, in order to render it at a reasonable scale, have stopped at his great grandparents generation. As far as I can tell, and this is a cross-reference between the Croft History of Direcleit & Ceann Debig with the Censuses and information from Mackay genealogy , these are the correct families but I have not ventured further along the various branches. I should point-out that the John Mackay born in 1826 was the Church Beadle at Scarista. More on Finlay J Macdonald can be found in these entries.
Second comment on this blog.Thanks! The younger members of the Macdonald family are trying to get the connection between our family and FinlayJ and Murdo Ewen Macdonald, and one branch originated from Diraclett. We originated from Sollas in North Uist, and there are still many Macdonalds there. Lovely blog! ours has just been set up(very amateurish):MacDonalds of Northton
