Michael Stewart alias McAndie
Following the Jacobite rebellion, many Stewart families in Strathdon used the alias McAndie.
I am interested in confirming that Michael McAndie who had children baptised in the Strathdon and Tarland areas of Aberdeenshire is the same Michael Stewart who married Elizabeth McHardy.
Chidren to Michael McAndie from OPRs :
