HI i am trying to do my family tree. Any help would be much appreciated as I am new to this. I would be William Mc Caldriges great grand daughter.
Welcome to the world of genealogy. You can have a lot of fun, meet great people (like the ones I've found on this site), find long lost relatives AND waste a lot of time.
If you are just starting out, I recommend in this digital age, that you use family tree software. My choice is to use Family Tree Builder from
https://www.myheritage.com/family-tree-builder - the great advantage is that its free. This will enable you to explore the world.
Another piece of advice is not to rush in and join a commercial site like Ancestry, until you have explored the "free" information out there.
Now, which William McAldrige are we talking about as your ggf? The one born in 1874? or the one married in 1874?
If it's William McFadden (born Alexander), that puts you in the same generation as my wife and Sandel1 on this site
Cheers
