About Mac Kinnon of South Uist
This website is dedicated to my loving dad in his memory -
William John Christopher Mac Kinnon (1915 - 2006) whom I dearly miss.
My dad had always held a keen interest in his roots in South Uist, Scotland
having lost his own dad at the tender age of 6 yrs old. He was always
interested in "who was who" and how they were related/connected and had a
vast knowledge of family affairs, names & dates among other "snippets" which
over time has enabled me to build what I can call "My Family Tree".
I was fortunate enough from a very young age to have inherited my dads interest
through our many trips "Home" - 455 Strome, North Lochboisdale, South Uist.
Although I was only a child, I remember our trips like it was yesterday and the
vast amount of people we used to visit. I was in awe at the amount of relatives
we had then. Being such a young girl I was unaware that because the Island was
so small that it was inevitable that we would have so many relatives & family
connections as my 4 great grandparents on my dads side were all born and raised
on the Island and all came from reasonably large families.
Our family is spread throughout Scotland, England & Canada which I know of but
there may be others in different places which I have yet to discover and my aim
is to reach each and every one who is part of my family. If you think you are a
leaf off my tree please email me either through this site or:
