Virginia -------- REPLY, End of original message -------- Hello LaSalle Listers and Virginia Parmenter, I have a family connection to a Lachlan McNeill who emigrated/migrated in a similar path and time zone to the relatives you describe. My connection is to Sarah Jane RAWSON and her 1st spouse, Edwin Saltzman, who are my gr gr grandparents. The only clue to WHERE they first settled in Ontario is Flora McNeill's birthplace as stated in her obituary. Lachlan & his 1st wife went over to KS for about 3 years, where she died. I do not know exactly when that was, or where in KS they went. There was no death record found by LaSalle Co., but I do have an obituary and copies of pages from Lachlan's bible, and a picture of his gravestone.
