"The Donald Family Home Page"

I'm researching the ancestory of the DONALD family. I have organized my search into three time periods.
1) Prior to 1673 - I suspect their is a link to the Donald's in Scotland but as yet have been unable to trace this. All the research so far ends Cumbria, England

2) Between 1673 and 1826
Based upon notes and records from the Church at Burgh by Sands, I can trace five generations in England starting with William Donald who was born in Holme Cultram, England in 1673 , Jonathon Donald who was born in Long Burgh, Cumbria, England in 1705. The decendants include: Jonathon born in Cumbria in 1736, William born in Workington in 1764, and Joseph born in Sunderland/Workington in 1806.

3) Between 1826 and present
Joseph Donald immigrated to New Brunswick in 1826. His son Robert Thaxter Donald was born in Roxbury. Mass in 1846 and his Son Joseph Clifton Donald was born in Dufferin Parish, Charlotte, New Brunswick in 1876. My father was Joseph's son, Philip Martin Donald born in 1915 in Vancouver

I would welcome for assistance in all three areas, but in particular, pre-1673 and information regarding the family in Charlotte , New Brunswick.

I have information on death, marriages and other children which I would welcome sharing.
