February 22nd

On this day in 1869 Margaret Donald was born.  She is your 1st cousin 4Xremoved.  Your common ancestor is Margaret's father, Joseph Donald, who is your 3x great grandfather.

Born in Monquhitter, Aberdeenshire, Margaret was the youngest of the ten children born to farmers Joseph Donald and Elizabeth Byres.  And beyond this I know nothing about Margaret.  Yet.

The map of Scotland below shows the location of Monquhitter, the parish which is so significant in our family's history.  It is the area outlined in red.
