Hi! My name is Jennifer and I'm the daughter of Daniel McKirdy. I was going through some of my dad's things and came across his boarding info for the ship he took from Glasgow to Canada. Typed in the info, and this chatvcame up. What info are you looking for? I have a pretty extensive family tree that my paternal uncle has been working on for years.
Hi Jennifer,
I'd be really interested in sharing info with you to see if we are connected at all. The Daniel mckirdy rust travelled to Canada was on the same ship as one of my family members, who was also descended from a Mckirdy so I wondered if there was any connection. My great great grandmother was a Mckirdy, I haven't been able to trace much of her side so far but know her father was James and she was born in Greenock or Port Glasgow and may have been in the poor house school for a short period. Some of her children ended up living with a Daniel Mckirdy in Greenock many years later. If any of this rings a bell please do get in touch.
Thanks,
Irene
