I can't make the connection between Antigonish
and Cape Breton messages. However, I grew up in
Quincy (Wollaston), MA with family of Frank
Macdonald who, himself, grew up in Brockton, MA.
He told me that his family had come from
Antigonish. He married Olive Barrett of Brockton.
They had two children, Margaret (Peg) and Robert
with who I was much in school. My family and his knew
of no relationship. If this be any help, I'll
supply what memories you wish.
