Description:
Original antique handwritten McDonald family genealogy and registry manuscript pages containing lineage records with the earliest documented family entry dating to 1728.
This is an authentic one-of-a-kind primary-source family archive featuring handwritten genealogical records likely documenting births, marriages, deaths, and descendant information for the McDonald family line. The manuscript displays beautiful period cursive handwriting with naturally aged ink and paper throughout.
Unlike later printed genealogy reproductions, these are original handwritten records created during or near the period of the recorded events, making them especially desirable to collectors of:
• Genealogy archives
• Early Americana manuscripts
• Scottish-American family history
• Antique ephemera
• Historical research material
• Victorian handwritten documents
The inclusion of entries tracing back to 1728 substantially increases the historical interest and research value of the archive. Original handwritten family registries of this type were often preserved inside family Bibles, estate portfolios, or private archives and were rarely duplicated, making surviving examples highly scarce today.
The paper exhibits excellent visual character with genuine antique toning and period ink oxidation that gives the manuscript strong display appeal in addition to its historical and genealogical importance.
