  • The site has undergone renovations! The new look is fresher, easier on the eyes, and now matches my other genealogy websites. Besides the visual changes, much of the content has been rewritten, citations edited, photos cleaned up. There are undoubtedly typos and I count on you to let me know about them. Thank you to everyone who has contributed content to the project and I look forward to continuing work on these families.
  • I plan to add maps and some background material on the opening page.
  • Photos of Flora McKinnon McLean, her adult children John Archibald, Christina, Flora, and Catherine (thank you Allison)
  • Photos of Duncan & Lavinia McLean & children (thank you Scott)
