Hello, I have just started looking in ancestry information about my Great-Grandfather Donald J. Gillis of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.His father, Hugh was born in East Bay in 1842 and died at age 30 from "fever". Old family stories say the family came from the Isle of Barra in approx. 1802. I would love to work on the years in between and complete the lineage. I would be eternally grateful for any help you could provide. I find the Gillis's difficult to follow and Donald's wife's family is the MacGillivray's. I have found that I can only work on one family at a time! Wonderful to have found your notes.Sincerely,
Lynn Kashino (daugheter of Mary Martin Kashino, daughter of Christina Gillis Martin, daughter of Penelope MaGillivray Gillis, daughter of Augustine and Catherine MacGillivray!)
