Hello: I'm still doing research for a wonderful book of original poetry and prose written to Miss Kate McCASKILL (1840-1912) of Mobile, by her relatives and friends in her personal album. These examples of deep love and friendship transcend the 142 years since the book began. I do need help, however, in knowing more of Miss Kate and her contemporaries. If anyone is related to the McCASKILL family, or related families, I would appreciate hearing from them. Any family research, photos, memoirs, et al, would be welcomed and given credit in my book. Some of the friends/relatives/locations/dates that were mentioned in her album were: George McCASKILL/brother/1860 Maggie McCASKILL/sister/Mobile/1863 Jacob McCASKILL/brother/Mobile/1861 Lottie WEEMS/friend/Mobile/1859 A.
