My little sis did a family line search some years back.
Found our family descends (direct patri line) from John McKay, brother of Alexander McKay, who came to the US in 1750.
That’s as far back as she went and as far back as anyone in the family is interested.
We’re American. No interest in who was who or whatever in them foreign devil lands.
I traced me back to Salem circa 1628 and Virginia same time period.
Family history is about Family History why wouldn’t you want to know WHY they took the trip? What drove them to sever their relationship with friends and family forever?
I find that strange.
