Hello,
I am desperately trying to find anyone who is researching or knows anything about a family of MacIsaac's who came from the Isle of Eigg to Antigonish circa 1823 or so. Lauchlin, Malcolm and two Johns came to the area called Eigg Mountain/Pleasant Valley and settled there in the mid-1820's. I know that their father was Ruairidh MacIsaac (possibly from the Isle of Muck) and Lauchlin was married to Catherine MacDonald on Eigg in 1818, prior to coming to Antigonish. I would be so appreciative of anyone who can help me with this mystery. I have actually contacted many people that live nearby in Antigonish town, but nothing has panned-out so far. Thanks for your help! Andrew in Vancouver, WA
