I am not certain that I am related to this grpup of McKinneys. I would very much like to prove lineage to a McKinney ancestor of mine with honorable service to the Confederacy. Anyone have any helpful adivce? This is not my specialty and I would very much lilke to join the Sons of Confederate Veterans and need this information.
