McDONALD Family Tree

with links to British India

The WebThis site

 

I am searching for my Ancestors originally from Coonoor & Ooty- McDonalds. They were:- William/Harriet (F) / James/Henry/Reuben/Samuel(my Father)/Walter, all born in Coonoor.  I will also be very grateful for any news of their Father (Reuben?) &McDonald their Mother (Ruth?)- My Grand Father & Grand Mother. Also of my Father's Grand Father, who supposedly came from Scotland round about 1930 or so. A person called Sally has given quite a lot of news of the Family, mostly of my Uncles, nothing about my Father/G.F/G.G.F). I shall be very greatly obliged of any news of them (Grand Parents & Great Grand Parents).
