This is the beginning of an endeavor that has been in the works for some time. Stewart Mccaw, who lives in the U.K. and I have been collaborating on the McCaw family history. We met through separate efforts and have been sharing research and findings ever since. We always thought we were of Irish descent until we started digging and found that we descended from the Scots and owned lands on the Isle of Bute. When we emmigrated to Ireland, we became known as the Ulster Scots.
In the coming days, I will add links to our ancestry.com site, as well as to our history and crest and tartan and websites where you can find sources for this information.
Aside from the links posted, you will have the opportunity to comment and get in touch with relatives you haven't met yet, if you are a McCaw or married to one, and if you aren't, you will possibly be interested in the history of the Scots, Irish, Canadian, and Australian McCaws.
That's it for now. Stewart and I wish to tell you that our hope is for you to gain from our research and for us to gain from your input. I am sure there are many more surprises to come
