Hi Connie, While I don't have very much in my database, I do believe I may have a descendent of your Mackey line. I've seen variations in the spelling depending upon what record you look at. My person is Thomas McKay who was born about 1867 in Carleton County. He married Susan Ann Ross (my Great-grand Aunt), b. Mar 25 1868, the daughter of Andrew Ross and Mary Robinson. I've done a bit of research in the census records for Carleton and found many McKay (and MacKay, and Mackey) that I tried summarizing at one time. But I just never got back to it. I'll be you that your Thomas Jr., born 1866 is my Thomas. I'd love to share info with you. I also have copies of most of the indexed census records for Carleton including Goulbourne from 1842 through 1901. You've probably already been through these, but just know I have them if you are interested. You can see my data on the World Connect Project of Rootsweb.com. I only have Thomas in my database now, as I said, I never finished piecing them all together. Would love to hear from you.
