Biography
Born in Alberta, Canada but raised on Haida Gwaii (then called the Queen Charlotte Islands) and in Vancouver, British Columbia.
- Married to my beloved husband & best friend
- Mother of 3 live children and 2 who were stillborn
- Grandmother of 5
Began researching my husband's side in 1998 when I discovered he was descended from Acadians and from there, branched out to my side.
From there, I began to offer my services to anyone interested in "climbing their own family trees" and finding out as much as I could for them.
Note
- My last name at birth has many spelling variations: MacKechnie, McKechnie, MacKechney, McKechney, MacKechny, McKechny, MacKechany, McKechany et. al.
- My MAIN areas of interest are listed in the TAGS on the TOP LEFT section of this page
- STEWART was the surname of my paternal 3X GREAT grandfather James Stewart who was born in Croft Carnach (Borenich Farm) in Blair Atholl, Perthshire, Scotland ----- I've not included STEWART in the 'tags' because it's such a common name and brings SO many names in my feed that I am unable to keep track of them.

I've added some of it to his profile but what will really surprise you is that he said that he and Lizzie had 3 children: Annie, Robert Frank and George!!
Another interesting tidbit is that he was married in England in 1917 in Rugby, Warwickshire and when he was discharged, their address was still there + they had 3 children!
I'll send you a private message with a link to his personnel records!!

Turns out the parents of his 1st wife Elizabeth King Dunlop actually died in Alberta which really makes me wonder why they didn't take in their grandchildren? By 1916, Annie was with the Arnolds and brother Robert Frank was in the Salvation Army Children's Home yet both their parents were still very much alive??
Best thing to do is begin with your Annie and go from there to her parents and grandparents as I've tried to put into their bios as much as I've found.

I think, at least for the time being, I like the "freedom" of what I'm presently doing ... when I get "bored" with my own WatchList, I try to find "new-to-me" profiles that could use additions, corrections, sources and tidying up.
Of course, I may change my mind in the future :-)
Regards, Dallas
I've completed the Trebilcock merges you proposed, and given them a quick edit, but they may need more. Wikitree has good systems, but matches to existing profiles can be a bit and miss, I've inadvetantly created a few duplicates myself. I'm interested in your connection to these people, my grandmother was a Keast, and these are distant cousins.
Gary
Thanks very much for the many fabulous contributions you made last year to Thomas Cutler, my 4x GGF. With best regards, William Ross III
Thanks for your work on George Corry (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Corry-178)! Are you interested in being the profile manager of his profile?
I'm more interested in his wife's side of the family but sure, go ahead and add me as profile manager and then if someone who is closely connected to the family wants, I can add them as his PM :)
Just a note to say how much the work you are doing in relation to the Cassidy surname is appreciated, thank you.
You may be interested in adding your Cassidy profile to the Cassidy One Name Study(ONS), there is a category you can add to these profiles, See how to add categories to your Cassidy profiles https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Cassidy_Name_Study these links can just be copied and pasted into profiles
This is a link to the space page for the Cassidy One Name Study - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Cassidy_Name_Study
My Paternal Great Grandmother was a Cassidy of Irish origin.
If I can be of any help let me know
Janet
Member of the Cassidy One Name Study and the Appreciation Team - Cassidy
Um stranges as I just refreshed them. Try clearing the junk at the end the %C2%A0 & the %C2%A0%C2%A0 they should work fine then, If not try a copy and paste into your search engine
All the Best

I got it from the OPC Cornwall site when her Isbell children were baptised -- but your comment caused me to double-check and I see it should actually be "Betsy" and not "Betty" as one transcriber had it.
Thanks! Dallas
A correction for you Amy Fry Climo is ANN not Amy. I have the marriage cert to Stephen Dawe where she clearly signs her own name! David Dawe
Don't forget, you can go ahead and correct any profile on WikiTree, especially when people like me make mistakes :) --- If you have further info on Ann Fry and father Edmund, etc. please add it.
Thankyou for the merge proposal for Mary Warne (Warne-633) and-664. This is an unfortunate dupliocation that I periodically encouinter adding new profiles, regretably sometimes Wikitree creates a new profile, but stays on the create new profile page, so I save again.
Gary
I tried merging Sarah Rowbotham Haddock but it wouldn't go through because the surnames are different. I wonder if the manager of 93 could correct the name to Rowbotham and then it could be done. I got my source from England Births & Baptisms and feel that mine is correct.
Valerie
Was that Hannah Kay or Hay? the Marriage record said Kay, but it could be a spelling mistake. Dave

I checked my Haddocks and mine go back to 1423 in Lancashire England. Going back I noted they lived in both Cheshire and Lancashire. I hope this might be of help.
Valerie
Changing sex is just a case of clicking the sex box when you edit the profile.
I'll orphan them this morning.
Great, Dave
Thanks for the reply. I am at a brickwall with my Lincolnshire ancestor, so I am just adding Haddock profiles to wikitree until I break through.
I think my Haddocks come from Ireland, but my Irish genealogy is poor.
Dave
I deal with Haddocks all the time and if I know of some that are yours I can add to them? Dave
I've pretty well done what I can on the Uglows. I can either just continue to Watch, or transfer more to you if you like. Either way, if you need help actually looking at stuff down West Country or here in Oxford then please ask and I will put it on my holiday schedule! David
This is a courtesy e-mail to see how things are going. Are you enjoying WikiTree so far?
Have the tips in the New Member How-Tos been helpful? Most of us still have some questions after reviewing them.
I'm here to help with issues and questions about how WikiTree works. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page or send a private message.
