It is known that quite a few people named McAlister (or McAllister) from the island of Islay changed their names to McIndeor in the 1700s and 1800s, some after they left the island and others whilst living there. I have come across a number of records quoting "McIndeor or McAlister" as well as accounts of the name being changed. |

These may give a bit of an insight - there are several others in the same vein - found by googling |

P.S. The Scotland's People website is even programmed such that if you search for McAlister it will also return results for McIndeor, and vice versa. |
