Subject: [SCT-ISLAY] MacIntyre family history
Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2000 10:13:02 -0700


I am in possession of 4 sheets of paper measuring approximately 8 inches in height and 5 inches in width. My
grandfather, John Campbell McFadyen gave these to me when I was young. These are all written by a Duncan MacIntyre at
Port Ellen, Islay on two dates, 19th and 23rd of February 1889. Duncan has written all that he can recall about his
family, including dates. The following surnames are mentioned on these papers:
MacIntyre; Gilchrist, MacLean, Smith and Campbell.
Duncan MacIntyre may have been a clergyman; I'm not sure.
There is some repetition, but the information is still valuable from a genealogical point of view. Parts of it were
difficult to read, so I may have included some errors in spelling while transcribing, but most is quite understandable.
These papers are showing signs of deterioration, so I would welcome suggestions on how to preserve them.
I can either send the contents out to all, or just to those who request it by email.
What is your wish?

Warren,
peace
