G2G: Any relatives of Mary Ellen (Ella) Roe Mc Donald?

Question

I am looking for any relatives of Mary Ellen (Ella) Roe Mc Donald. She was born in Pickford Michigan on 11/14/1883 and died 6/16/1945. She was my grandmother. She married my grandfather, William Andrew Mc Donald and they lived on a farm in Pickford, MI. My grandfather died in 1972. If anyone is a possible relative of mine, I'd be interested in finding you. I am also very interested in knowing as much family background as possible.  Thank you.

Answer 1

Do you have her parent's names or info? If you upload a few more ancestors you are more likely to find some. I checked Ancestry for you and didn't find much more on Mary Ellen than what you already have. But if you have some additional connections to upload it would help as it might connect you to a cousin, etc who knows more. Your grandpa's estimated birth year might be a another good addition if you have it.

I gave my grandpa's exact birth date and year already. I'm  a newby, did i do it wrong somehow?? Thank you.

I can see it now :) Looks good to me. Do you have a familysearch or ancestry membership? Sometimes those sites can lead to more clues.
