I've known my family roots all my life. With the last name MacDonald, I kind of figured where it all started. My G4 (or maybe G5) MacDonald ancestor fought the good fight for The Crown during the American Revolution. Well, we know they lost. But I do know that my Lt. Colonel grandfather MacDonald was granted a large section of land along the Mirimichi River in Canada. That's where the MacDonald story in North America began. Here's a photo of the MacDonald Historic Site. This photo was taken in 2008 when my mom and her daughter visited the old homestead. That's them standing in the doorway.
