Hi Robyn. I was searching for more information about my forefathers and how they got to South Africa. My search got me to your question and i thought it a bood idea to let you know that i have some news from here and hopefully it helps. The mcdonalds on my side in SA are from Stornoway. Two brothers Hugh and Charles came to SA on 1838 and 1842 respectively. On my side Charles married Elizabeth Haig Archbell (rev James Archbell's b1795-died 1866)daughter. They had 6 children namely: Emily, James, Donald, Sarah Ann, Elizabeth and Eva. On my side again, Donald married Charlotte Williams?(williams i think). They had 7 children, namely: Alexander, Evelyn, Ronald, Herbert, Ethel, Mary and Joyce Edith. On my side again, Ronald married Thursa Burdon and had 5 children namely: Reginald, Douglas, Phylis, Norman and Dennis. On my side again, Norman married Sybil Cusick and had 2 boys named, Malcolm and Barry. My father is Malcolm. I am the 2nd eldest of 4 boys. I have a little info of the other family members from Hugh and others. Hope this helped the SA thing. Regards Andrew McDonald. www.whenigo.net if you want my website.
