Hi List, Just arrived on the list. My research interest is James MCKAY born 1818, in Ireland, possibly Co. Down. His parents were said to be John Neil MCKAY and Catherine MCCUSKER. He had a brother named John and sister named Elizabeth. The family moved to Glasgow area about 1820. James MCKAY married Cecilia LAWSON 1841, in Dundee.James and Cecilia emigrated to USA in 1840's. They went to Albany, NY. Then headed west. They traveled The Oregon Trail in 1847. I would like to locate information about where in Ireland they actually came from. They were Catholics. Thank You, Catherine McKay __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Sports - Coverage of the 2002 Olympic Games http://sports.yahoo.com
