They had a daughter and two servants and they lived at 9 W. 42nd St. His occupation was listed as "Bazaar Patterns." He has a middle initial but I forget what it was.<br /><br />I'll email you the rest of what she found.Mikhaela Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817367214920267825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-55672488454826268922012-01-06T15:33:41.533+00:002012-01-06T15:33:41.533+00:00Debi, this series is great!

Let me also ask my mother if she has any ideas--she's quite the Scottish genealogy detective, she's dug up tons of stuff on my family so is quite familiar with the resources out there and has got as far back as the 1600s... (my family was originally from Rutherglen, which I think is just part of Glasgow now).Mikhaela Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817367214920267825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-5873142794624146022012-01-06T14:47:33.924+00:002012-01-06T14:47:33.924+00:00Thanks for answering my question, funny how once y...Thanks for answering my question, funny how once you answer one question a million more come up!mollyhttp://toferet.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-12459983555806546402012-01-06T13:55:16.904+00:002012-01-06T13:55:16.904+00:00Great idea Debi!Great idea Debi!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401124377008075764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-39367844060793050682012-01-06T11:28:29.256+00:002012-01-06T11:28:29.256+00:00How interesting, I would love to find out more abo...How interesting, I would love to find out more about McCall's Scottish heritage.

I am part Scot and know very little about my family history in Scotland. In fact, my grandmother swears up and down that line of the family is Irish, but I do know that my last name is Scottish and that there was a split in the family, leading some to emmigrate to Ireland. Anyway, not to ramble on about that. I will make my way to the site and put in a request about Mr. McCall. :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512285222993565838noreply@blogger.com
