Re: McDONALD IRE>CAN>IL>NE

Hi Mike,
I have a connection to the MacDonalds of Newfoundland - George, Patrick and Hugh first show up in a land grant in 1762 - Harbour Main, Newfoundland - "deed of gift from their fathers".My grandmother's sister, Johanna "Anna" Power born September 1889 in Avondale,Newfoundland married William MacDonald of Colliers, Newfoundland.William's father was William born 1840 and his mother was Jane Mahoney born 1850 both of Colliers.Children of William and Johanna are Jane, William, Mary and Christopher. There are many MacDonald's still in Colliers
