You see Great-grandmother MacAskill (the former Jane MacKenzie) with all but one of her children and three grandchildren. Most of her children became adventurous and sailed off to Canada, where they thrived and produced a lot of us MacAskills. One of the boys, Donald MacAskill, Sr., married Jane Frost of Lexington Kentucky and they looked pretty distinguished later in life, no?

They gave birth to Mary Jane MacAskill and Donald MacAskill, Jr., who looks positively dashing with his georgeous new bride Miriam Rose. They gave birth to Robin, Jane, and Chris MacAskill who gave them 12 grandchildren. MacAskills everywhere!
