Island story
Flossie MacDonald is commemorated at Church Cemetery memorial C-015, which records 1925–1991. The 1931 census records Flossie MacLean, age five, in the John H. and Maggie MacLean household; a 1942 Sunday School photograph also identifies her. A 1949 marriage record identifies Flossie Donella MacLean, daughter of John Hector MacLean and Margaret Ann MacCallum, as the bride of Orland Dunn MacDonald, documenting the MacLean-to-MacDonald surname transition reflected in later Island records.

Incomplete names and identity candidates
Name and accepted-alias matches appear before initials-only possibilities. Within each group, records with no known date conflict and an accepted connection to the selected relative appear first. This is an evidence ordering, not a probability. Compare generation, known relatives, census units, memorials and dated sources in each record. No suggestion changes a family relationship.
