Catherine McNally from Argyll, Scotland says:
I can't believe I found your paper online. I was hoping I could search for my family who lived their when I visited about 35 years ago. I visited my mother's aunt who we called Mary Keenan (which could be either of her married names or her maiden name) she was quite elderly at the time and was a mother and a grandmother she originally came from Paisley and visited with us back there a few years after my visit to Brooklyn. The only helpful information I have on her is her sons names are Kenny and Vinnie whom I met and I believe she had a daughter Christine and at least one of her grandson's worked in television and was in an advert when I was over. I would happily pay for an advert and would appreciate your help. In my grandmother's generation only she and a sister who died stayed in Scotland the rest all six emigrated to America. hope you can help. Best regards Catherine
