STEWART DESCENDANTS FROM THE ISLE OF
SKYE
I am researching STEWART
DESCENDANTS FROM THE ISLE OF SKYE. Mainly the families who emigrated to
Prince Edward Island but I am also interested in other Isle of Skye
Stewarts who emigrated to other Provinces in Canada or to the United
States and elsewhere. Other family lines that I am researching are
Murchison, Nicholson, MacLean, MacKinnon, MacPhee and MacPherson. Also
my mothers ancestors Langilles and Tattries from Montbeliard, France.
The "Foreign Protestants" who emigrated to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in
1752
This is Gedintailor, on the road to the
Braes,
located south of Portree, Isle of Skye,
it was the home of some of my Stewart ancestors
Some background information on Family names that I am
researching:

Portree, Isle of Skye, Scotland. She was born 1818 in Portree, Isle of
Skye, Scotland, and died January 21, 1896 both Malcolm and Sarah are
buried in Valleyfield Cemetery, Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is
believed that Malcolm Stewart and Sarah MacKenzie married in Portree,
