Morvern (McPhee?) Bute (McFie?) Kintyre (McFie?) Ayrshire (McCoffey?) Argyll (McDuff?) Travellers (McPhee?) Perth (McDuff?) Ulster and Ireland (McAfee, McIlDuff, McDuffie?) Prince Edward Island (McPhee?) America (McDuffie, McFie, McDuff?) Rest of Canada Australia and New Zealand Any other Q. Is spelling of the surname important? A. Those researching their ancestry should be aware, that spelling of surnames is of no significance. In essence there is no difference between McDonald and Macdonald, since the names were spoken, before they were written and each Minister transcribing the name would have his own preference. In later times there were preferences, for example, most Bute ancestors are McFie, whereas in Ardnamurchen they are more often McPhee. None of these rules are hard and fast, so any proper research should allow the full gamut of spellings. At the very least M(a)cPhee, M(a)cPhie, M(a)cFee, M(a)cFie, M(a)cDuffee, M(a)cDuffie and M(a)cDuffy should be treated as interchangeable
