reddeb06 — 2012-03-15 07:10:29Z

Does anyone have information on the parents of Mary Maccay? Mary married Thomas Trammell on Dec. 27, 1730 in Anne Arundel, Maryland. Some family trees have her death in 1757 in Colony Anderson, Kansas. Thanks for any info.

Do you have an Andrew McKay that is listed as living in Algoma district with his wife Mary Jane and father William in the 1871 Ontario census? Andrew is listed as age 34 and William age 70 and Mary Jane(Walt) age 28. Mary Jane died 1899 in Bruce county Mi, but buried in Algom. Andrew and a couple of his kids, Curries and Wilsons by marriage, moved to Tenino, Washington USA.

Robin,

Although clans do have some basis in fact Hollywood and the Scottish tourist board have over egged the pudding. Mackay's as a clan came from sutherland. Our Mackays from Edderton are more probably just poor agricultural labourers.

The McGhees have long been a part of the clan Mackay. Our clan
information says that the Second Chief, Iye Mor, had two brothers:
Morgan and Martin. From Martin came the Galloway Mackays, which are
divided into two branches M'Ghie and M'Kie. Around 1160 the Argyil
Mackays and the McGhies of Galloway fled south. The name McGee,as it
is spelled in the US is a strong part of the Clan Mackay. and we have
many members that carry the McGee name. Check into our WEB
site at http://www.clanmackayusa.org/index.html.
I would encourage you to post a notice on the bulletin board
pertaining to the information you are seeking. Also, if you have not
already contact the Society in Scotland do so at:
http://www.clanmackaysociety.org/welcome.html. The Seanachaidh, W. Alex Mackay, is very helpful.

Over the years the spelling of my ancestors has been MacCay,MacKey, McKeag, McCay, McKeig. Coming from the northern tip of what is now Ireland, these hard folks decided rather than join up in a cause they neither understood or supported they would emmigrate to the United States. I have been able to track them through the help of some diligent folks who took me under their wing. If any one has information in Scotland or Ireland I would love to hear from them.

Scotland to Zorra, Ont. (Many names)

ElaineArnold55 — 2003-08-24 03:15:26Z

I have listed many names from the book "Pioneer Life in
Zorra" (published in 1899) on the Ancestry.com message
boards. If you are connected to those settlers and wish
more info you may contact me at arnolds@netrover.com
By the way I am not of Scottish descent but just wanted
to help.

Some web sites with the History of the Clan Mackay

jahansen — 2001-12-29 01:45:14Z

Dear All:

There has been a couple of questions regarding the
History of the Clan MacKay.

Here are some basic web sites that cover the
history and some relationships with the
Morgans and Forbes Clans and other Septs of
the Clan.

Here is the basic background:

http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/m/mackay2.html

Here is the genealogy report giving some backgrounds:

http://www.tartans.com/clans/MacKay/mackay.html

Here is the Clan MacKay USA Society with a really nice
description of the current status of the Clan and
the descent from the Royal House of Moray.

http://www.clanmackayusa.org/Features/mkhistry.htm

And of course the message boards with the
surname Mackay should be reviewed and
a "notifications" added to your daily email
postings :-)

Hope this helps:

Hi
I have two different MacKay families in my ancestory, one family came from around Dornoch,Sutherland, the farthest I can go back with this one is 1792, the other MacKay's were from the Edderton, ROC area, early 1800's. Can anyone tell me how does one tell if they are truly from the Clan MacKay?

Clan and Associations postings

jahansen — 2001-12-12 03:29:44Z

Dear All:

This thread/topic is intended as a forum for the
Clan to post their Notices and the Clan Associations
to post their web sites, notices of meetings and
gatherings. Even Newsletters ( by permission of the
Clan officials) are permitted here.

The correct procedure for posting here is to:
A: do a reply to this message. Erase the subject heading
above and then >
B: enter the name of your association and connection
to the clan.
C: Follow on postings are then replied to that unique
association. I would think that subject and dates
would then be appropriate subject headings.

The intention is to allow the Clan to have a thread
and each respective association to have a thread that
it can maintain with its newsletters and notices.
That way the basic thread of the association can be
referenced by URL in emails and other web sites.

Please forward this message to the Clan headquarters office,
its international associations and
other affiliated groups that may be interested in
posting here. Posting this notice to the Surnames message boards
and Surname mailing list or sending to Secretary of the
Clan, the Clan Associations and the Septs of the Clan
would also be appreciated.

Best Regards

Ancestors postings

jahansen — 2001-12-11 05:29:42Z

Dear All:

Please start a separate sub-thread under this
thread ( just do a reply) for each Clan ancestor.

The thread on this board (and the mailing list) is intended for
comments, hints on how to locate, and discussions
on those distant ancestors ( sometimes brick walls) that are
very hard to locate. Anyone with knowledge of the
Clan Ancestors or searching for ancestors and especially
the Clan Genealogist are especially encouraged to post
their finding on the Clan ancestors.

Please do not use this board for merely looking for
recent descendants. That function is better in the
Surname message boards and mailing lists.

Use the standard procedure in the subject header of
inserting your family ancestor information in the following format
NAME > location > dates

Best Wishes and Happy Hunting to All
