Hello Carolyn, Sue et al, You caught my attention when you mentioned Owen Sound. MyMcNeills went there from Gigha in the 1880s - I wonder if any McNeills appear in your book - or McPhails? John McNeill also worked the Great Lakes ferries. Hope there may be some connection. Best, Mary Bigger. Stronger. Faster. Sign up for a New Free Email Account at http://MyEmail.com
