Margaret, Jun 1876
Robert, 1869, all born in Philadelphia .
Alexander married Frances (1930 Cenus, Philadelphia).

  Well that does explain Frances M on the Census 1930.  To bad this source for Canada won't work, had a nice family picture!!  Oh well that is genealogy..
Thanks again

No idea. Blair is a common surname here and it was the McKees who were connected so I never paid much attention when Robert Blair was mentioned.

Hello
I found some info on Richard Blair who married Mary Moon McKee Immigrated on the ship Regina, departing from Belfast, arriving in Quebec.  The image is poor.
Under the name Blair is listed; Richard and Mary children Robert, William, Maud, John,Sarah, Richard, George, and Harold.  I was wondering is marriage and birth are available?
Cheers

Hi
I was just reading of the book "A History of the Descendants of David McKee", very interesting.  Have you had a chance to read it?  Do you think there is a connection of David and William who married Annie Greer?
