I am the third child & 2nd daughter of a first generation American. My father's family immigrated in the early 1900's. My paternal grandfather, Robert Beveridge McKinlay, immigrated to work in the coal mines of West Virginia then moved to Midland, Allegany County, Maryland where he lived until his death in 1953. I have done a lot of research for my father's family and started in 1990 because my father was suddenly interested in knowing his family roots. Sadly he died before he got to see the extent of the information I had found. There are no longer any of my father brother and sisters alive but numerous offspring from them throughout the USA.

PS Sometimes links don't work in emails. You can always find a link that works in the public comments on your profile.
As you have been a member of WikiTree for about a week now I thought I would check in to see how you are getting on with the site.
Has the New Member How-To been helpful or left you with any questions?
I am here to help with any problems or queries you may have. Just click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page or send me a private message. Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.

Thanks for volunteering! You are now a full member of the WikiTree community, and can start adding your family. Let me know if you have any questions.
Since WikiTree is different from other genealogy sites, we have a guided tour for new members at New Member How-To. Feel free to work through the How-Tos at your own pace.
Once you add profiles to WikiTree they become searchable and in my experience persons interested in these profiles will contact you and may provide further information to expand your family tree.
Great to have you on board, enjoy, and good luck growing your branches.
Ludwig :)
