Hi Ronda Can help with on of these. Mary Elizabeth (Minnie) McKibbin, was the daughter of Alice McKibbin, born, according to my records 1867 in Yack when Alice was 22, and raised by Alice's parents Robert & Mary Ann (nee McGee). I have no Alexander McCullough - can you shed any light on him? Perhaps someone could do a birth lookup in Pioneers for parents of Alexander McCullough born 1885 -1887? Maybe Reginald McMillan was Martha Jane McKibbin's son. She married William McMillan. Again, unfortunately my CD has died but perhaps someone could do a birth lookup. Looks like half the school was filled with McGee descendents!
