Re: PHILIP McDONALD (1833-1914)

Hi Gary Presuming that the new info about Philip (other than the undocumented missionary background) is reasonably accurate, I updated the following entries in my Philip McDONALD file. In 1862 Philip’s sister, Catherine McDONALD married Peter TAYLOR, son of Mary INKSTER and James TAYLOR (1791-1878)....

Re: ALFRED JOHN EVANS (1873-1941)

Tell me about it. The good news is the fact that they wrote every thing down. Without access to the book "Icelandic River Saga" researched and written by Nelson S. Gerrard, I never would have traced my sons Icelandic ancestry back to Séra (Pastor) Mikael Bergsson, born abt. 1575 at Gar§ur ...
