Anyone connected to any part of the above families, I'd love to hear from you.
The family came up from Kildonan apparently prior to 1776. There were supposed to be 7 or 8 McDonald boys.
Originally supposed to be from Glencoe.

I have a question as to the spelling of Bardfellister. I have seen it spelled as Badfellister. My Grandfathers birth certificate says Bardfellister. Does anyone know? I have visited the old croft. It is very run down.

I was registered many years ago on this forum as Siobhan and posted then, but didn't receive any answers. Hopefully, someone can shed some light.

Thanks.
