Hello! How do I add this to my tree?

My paternal great grandmother was Mayme/Mary? McNeil, daughter of Peter, son (or nephew living with them? Still searching for proof...) of Donald.

My grandmother, when alive, once told me a story about her grandmother (Donald's wife, Polly?) -that she used to sit in a rocker on the porch to smoke a pipe! Something everyone thought a bizarre thing for a woman to do. I'd love to connect wth kin, and anyone with more info about my gr gr grandfather, Peter.

Peace Sky

Thanks for your question, Sky

I've sent you a pm with instructions on how to add the clan sticker to ancestor profiles. Adding the sticker will automatically place your ancestor profiles in the category for Clan MacNeil. I've also sent information about joining the project, if you are interested.

Sincerely, Amy Gilpin Scotland Project Co-Leader
