I am one of the Harris connection. My grandmother was Olive Jones, born in Whareora about 1900. I was at the McKinnon reunion in Whangarei in 1958 (?) If I remember correctly, my Uncle George piped in the haggis.(I have photos if anyone is interested), and hope to be there Easter 2009. Hoping to go to Arran this August. There are several real Mckinnons here in Minnesota.
I'm the third child of jack (roy john)and Tui Mckinnon. I would like more info about the reunion at easter so i can inform my siblings who were at the 1958 reunion although we were all under the age of 10. I also have newspapr clipings of the 1958 reunion.
Wow, this is so interesting i am realated to a few Mckinnons On Arran although i am not very sure of the links as my side of the family married into this family. I know a John Mckinnon and a David McKinnon on Isle of Arran I also know that some of David's relatives stay in Australia. If anyone knows anymore id love to find out :) x
My name is James Mckinnon. I am not sure if I am a descendant or not. I know nothing about my ancestry.
