Descendants of
Lodovic Nicolson

Norman, Angus, Samuel, Margaret, Catherine, and Mary (?) Nicolson came from the Isle of Skye to Prince Edward Island in the early 1800's. An old family letter states that their father was Lodovic or Ludvic Nicolson. This name is Maoldonach in Gaelic. The family may have come from Culnaknock or Culnacroc on the Isle of Skye.

Here is what I know of Lodovic's descendants. I cannot prove all of these family relationships. This page is primarily to promote discussion of this family. Please let me know if you have any comments or have anything to add. Thanks!
