Does anyone have a connection to John McLean, born in Canada in 1844? In a copy of a letter from the files at Forest Hill Cemetery, John McLean refers to his brother, Charles. However, it cannot be the Charles who was the son of my gr-uncle Laughlan McLean, because Laughlan was still in Scotland in 1844 and unmarried. In 1899-1900 John McLean, although living in Bemidji, was paying for a cemetery plot in Forest Hill so he must have had some Duluth connection. If anyone has access for a Duluth city directory for that period, please do a lookup for Charles McLeans. Thanks in advance. Marion Markham

HI My relative George Edward Randall married a Kate McLean in the 1890's in Duluth. Any connection? The Randalls are all buried in Forest Hills.
