<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana size=3>I am researching a McKay family that was here
with the Hudson Bay company by 1832. Unlikely Charles belongs with this
family but possibly they were related in Scotland. John McKay, b. 1813,
Braal, Halkirk parish, County Caithness, Scotland.</FONT></EM></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hello Everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm a newbie to the list and am wondering if any of you might be
related. My ggg-grandparents left the Red River Settlement in Canada and
went to Oregon in 1841. Their names were Charles Richard McKay (b. Feb
8, 1808) and Letitia Bird (Feb 10, 1810). They are both buried at the
Harrison Cemetery in North Plains about 20 miles west of Portland.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oregon history about this family is somewhat different from the Canadian
research that I've done. I'll be happy to share it if it turns out that
anyone is interested.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Take care,</DIV>
<DIV>Carma McKay</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
