Hello again

Thank you for the info. I will put it on my tree plus it's good to record for future researchers.

Take care

I’ve been searching high and low for any record of my great grandmother Minnie Kinvig of the IOM. My dads entire family passed away years ago and he knows next to nothing about his heritage except he had a Grandmother named
Minnie Kinvig from IOM. From what I have found I believe her parents were William Kinvig and Lizzie McCarthy but I’m not 100%. I’m guessing they were born in the late 1800s, which isn’t much help. Is there anything you ca provide or any direction to point me? It would mean so much to give my dad info that he’s longed to know for his 70th bday next month. There are just so many Williams I don’t know what to do. I’d truly appreciate any guidance. Thank you so much for your time. Kim

I'm sorry but I didn't get notification about your post on Rootschat. I have Minnie Kinvig on my husband's tree. Not related to him but someone in her family married someone in his.

If you need any further info let me know.
