Report

No great "aha" moments to report.  However, I have collected some material that may be helpful (CEF Commonwealth War Graves Registers 1914-1919 with McCaw names who were killed in action.  Also some McCaws on a website for the Macintosh Reunion, and a few other records).  There is so much information I have gleaned and the trick is to organize and put it into perspective.  In this research, it is easy to assume this McCaw or that McCaw is attached to a specific line, but verification is needed.  There are a lot of Johns and Alexanders, etc.  Since I learned to do all this in university, I just have to go back - waaaaay back - and remember how to organize and verify, which should keep me out of trouble for the whole summer.  I will post and share whatever I come up with.  There are many branches and migrations and some stayed in Scotland and Ireland as well. I want to research the branch that went to Australia as well. The U.S. has many, many Mccaws and eventually way back, we are all related. Any comments and help would be appreciated.
