Hi Jay: After I got home, Margaret and I discussed this family. (Mum and Margaret have been to my place for a few days….. something different for Mum at 92.)
I checked my works on John McDonell. Yes he did start with the 84th but he spent most of the war years with the Butler's Rangers. I will get a listing of years and what he did for you.
I will check on my notes for Alexander McDonell, Abercalder.
