Most of my work has been on tracing my direct (McNicol) line, I have that line back to Scotland in the late 18th C with substantial confidence and back another century on an inferential basis. I've also done some work on colateral branches of my family--Spangler, Boyington, Heisel, and LaVanway.

David McNicol is a descendant of Mayflower Passenger Richard Warren.
Biography
I was born in South Gate California during WWII. My father was then a civilian working for the U.S. Army. He was a Montana native and my mother had lived in Montana since she was five. After the war, we moved to Missoula, Montana, where my father completed his degree in pharmacy at what is now the University of Montana. My parents purchased a pharmacy in Harlowton, a small town near the geographic center of Montana. I went through grade school there. My parent then moved us to Great Falls, at the time the big city of the state, where they had opened a drug store in a new shopping center. I went to junior high and high school in Great Falls, and then went East for college and graduate school and remained on the East Coast. My wife and I have two adult daughters and three grandchildren. Although we have traveled widely in the U.S. and abroad, we are homebodies. We have lived in the same house for nearly 38 years now, and for 43 in the same neighborhood near the University of Maryland College Park.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
