Cheri, if you are Canadian and Scottish we are probably cousins..... I'm both!![]()
Wouldn't that be something??! My genealogy is primarily Scottish and Irish, with a bit of Portugese and German thrown in. The majority of my Scottish ancestors apparently emigrated to the US via Nova Scotia. With a name as common as MacDonald though, it's not an easy task to pick out which are mine, especially since the only "family" I knew growing up was my mother, grandmother, and step father. My mother & grandmother didn't talk about "their" side of the family, and both died while I was young, so this has been like looking for a needle in a giant haystack!! Certainly interesting though.
And thanks to Ancestry.com, I recently found a cousin living in Maine, so hopefully I can fill in some blanks and get some family stories soon!
