Notes for RANALD ANGUS MACDONALD:

In 1848 the passinger list for the ship Lulan shows McDonald's, McIntyre and McLeod's coming from Glasgow Scotland to Pictou.  The captain and pare owner of the ship was a George McKenzie.  I feel that the 3 families may have traveled together on the ship and settled close to each other and that is why I can't find any records of them in Canada before late 1800's.

Ronald birth could be April 2 1864 or Dec 22 1844.
