Things to Ponder!
Header photo is of Armadale Castle on Isle of Skye May 2018.
As of 9/1/2018 I have added 3 new photos courtesy of a cousin to Daniel Kennedy and Jane Wilhemina McDonald – a daughter of Jeannette and Angus McDonald. Check them out!
There is a table of contents of the posts about my trip to Scotland in May 2018 at the top of the blog under the header photo in the drop down for Seaching for the origins of the MacD’s. I apologize for all the editing errors in the text, I tried, but apparently I was a bit sloppy. Sorry!
Because this blog is too big the trip to Scotland will eventually be turned into a PDF and featured on the page about Scotland on this blog for you to access. Hopefully, that will solve the editing issues and still be available for all to view. When, by the end of the year or at least early 2020.
Find My Past has a section for searching on Scotland, Jacobite Histories 1715-1745 and there is quite a list of documents including some of the forfeited estates, histories of the rebellions and more.
July 7, 2018 Went to Port Townsend, WA and we had breakfast at the Spruce Goose Cafe at the Jefferson County International Airport. We also spent time in the Pt. Townsend Aero Museum next to the cafe. I highly recommend it. Both have websites just Google them. As I sat in the Spruce Goose Cafe enjoying my breakfast I had this feeling that I had been there before with my dad, Keith, who loved the airplanes.
IMPORTANT: St. Alphonse Cemetery Maybe In Jeopardy
As of 9/17/2018 I have been informed that the St. Alphonse Cemetery in Chapeau maybe in jeopardy of being destroyed. I tried to photography many photos and put them on Find A Grave, I also made sure that the two cemeteries were separately done. I am talking about the one in Chapeau next to the Catholic Church, not the one 1/2 mile south of the town.
I do not live in the area of the church and cemetery and can’t get more photos done. We need help getting that cemetery documented with photos. E. Brown did the book years ago on the burials and stones but we need help now.
If you can please submit photos to me and information and I will see that it is uploaded or join Find A Grave it takes a small amount of time to learn it but it is worth it.
I will keep and eye on things and let you know if things change.
