Hi Alice, When searching in Ancestry.com, did you try using: McC* This will bring up all the names beginning with McC, might be a long search, but you may get lucky. You MUST put in three letters then * for this to work. Cheers Wendy Perth, West Aussie amroche1@aol.com wrote: > You're right, Ray.

Does anyone know how far away Congo, County Fermanagh is? I was surprised to find that there are 2 Congos in Northern Ireland. Another question...my Alexander McClelland came to the US (Manhattan) in 1847 at the age of 16 or 17. He traveled alone. I have been unable to find him on any ship's list. I've used the various spellings including Clelland on the various programs (ie. ancestry.com). No luck.
