  MissScarlett: Is it definitely <Jonathan>? Jonathon, Johnathon and Johnathan are variants.

<As an English name, Jonathan did not become common until after the Protestant Reformation. A famous bearer was the Anglo-Irish satirist Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), who wrote 'Gulliver's Travels' and other works.>

  Tabanus: No it's not definite yet. Only "Jonathan Kenneth MacDonald" b. 1945 was (written by an unknown person) in the bio before, under the other (wrong) MacDonald.
Nov-25-17  Larryfyffe: Uses 'J.Ken MacDonald' himself; he's from Toronto and co-authored The History of Correspondence Chess In Canada (2006).

Jonathan??? I think it's 'John', but not sure.

See Biographer's Bristol for his email address.

  Tabanus: I requested it changed back to J Ken MacDonald. It may be John, or something else.
