Hi Rod and Monica
I am a 4x Gr Grdchild of Robert McK b 1844, living in Vic Aust.
I am trying to seek earlier ancestors beyond Roberts parents - John (b1806) married abt 1826 Ann (Mellis). Johns parents James (abt 1776) married Jean Bain (had 6 children) in Portsoy, Fordye Banffshire.
Are you still available to link and are you still searching ancestors? Would love to connect with other relo's
look forward to connecting, regards
Tanya McK
