No. Angus Chisholm is one of the Chisholm's of Margaree Forks, Cape
Breton, Nova Scotia. In that family there are alot of really talented
players like Cameron Chisholm and Maybelle Chisholm. Duncan Chisholm is
of course from Scotland.
I'm sure if you go far back enough, they could possibly be related. Of
course if you go far back enough, I'm probably related to Roddie
MacDowell :-)
Beyond that, their styles are very different. Both great players
though!
