Discussion: I am wanting any information on my Paternal Grandfathers Family from South Uist. Angus MacCormack married Catherine Johnstone, and Neil Gordon MacCormack was born from their marriage. Neil Gordon MacCormack is my Grandfather. Neil emigrated to New Zealand in early 1900,s and never made it back home I would love any information on any living Family as will be visiting South Uist in 2020 and its my lifelong wish to connect with my Scottish heritage. Thank you

You don't give a date for Neil, however if I have it correct he was born 1878 (indexed as Niel) instead of Neil with no middle name? A M
