Island story
Frank MacDonald is commemorated at R3-001 in the Pioneer Cemetery, where the stone records 1924–1988 and names Annabel C. MacLean, 1925–1954, as his beloved wife. The inscription establishes this memorial spouse relationship. His exact MacDonald branch and the couple’s marriage chronology remain unestablished by this memorial. Annabell’s 1954 death registration names her husband and informant as Frank Wallace MacDonald. This supports the recorded spouse relationship; the sequence between her separately documented 1945 MacKinnon marriage and this later record remains unexplained.

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.
