To study more on the McRae genealogies, one would need to buy a copy of the book.I did have in my possession a very old version of the McRae genealogies but it was returned to a cousin.There should be on the site genealogies of the McRae's, one just has to search for it.I did come across it sometime ago. I will also contact Clan McRae Australia and NZ for you to ask for info.I am a member of the clan.
