Hello, My name is Dina McBride and I have just joined the list. I am currently hoping to make some progress (fill out lots of sketchy info, gather some good source information, as well as carry the line further) on my maternal grandmother's line. She is turning 90 in just a few weeks, and I know it's late to start, but it would be so meaningful if I could share some new information with her! I am open to suggestion, correction, and just general comment! Here's the line as far as I can take it back, with direct the direct line to my grandmother - including siblings of the direct.
