Biography

Gillroach MacQueen is a member of Clan MacQueen.

Of course, his father's first name is not "Prime" and should be marked as Unknown. According to "Clergymen and Chiefs: A Genealogy of the MacQueen and Macfarlane Families," his father was of a sept of the MacDonalds and was living, in 1490, in the Outer Hebrides on the Isle of Oransay (Gael: Orasaigh), North Uist Parish, Inverness-shire, Scotland. (Since I do not have pre-1500 certification, I am unable to make changes to that profile.)

Both Gillroach & his brother, Finlay, were born around 1500.
