How nice to touch base with ‘family’. Will be anxiously awaiting to hear more from you. Do you have our email?

Len and Joan: This is great news. Ambrose Mc/MacDonald or McDonell is a son of Duncan and Elizabeth Sauve McDonald. I traveled to the area of Chapeau/Chichester and saw her grave site at the St. Alphonsus Church Cemetery but Duncan’s burial location is not known but his burial information is in the records. There are descendants of Duncan and Elizabeth that I am in touch with through Robert McDonald and his wife Celina Gray. Her name is Ruth and she is 94 years old and still doing well. I will contact you off this blog and we can share and chat. So glad to hear from you. Bonnie

I find this very interesting. We are doing a family history and some of our ancesters are mcdonald and sauve.Many of the dates correspond with dates you have listed, also the many children. My husbands grandfather was Ambrose McDonald. We never knew if he had any relatives as they were never mentioned or spoken of, which we thought was unusual. He moved to Saskatchewan and had eleven children. Would love to hear from you and I can pass on the information that we have. We live in British Columbia.
