Skye Kin
Like Skye Roots, Marjorie MacInnes of Skye Kin researched the families of north and west Skye. Having gathered information from a wide variety of sources for over 40 years and with a wealth of local knowledge, the Skye Kin archive is substantial. Marjorie has now passed this large archive, including her extensive database of family charts, to Skye Roots to allow her more time to pursue her own interests. The Skye Kin research concentrated mainly on the parishes of Duirinish and Bracadale.
