MacDonald
Family

On a recent trip to West Virginia I took photos of graves in Maysville, Grant
County and also looked up some McDonald's in Romney Court House. Perhaps this
will help someone else looking for the McDonald family and their connections.
Many of these McDonald's also lived in Hardy County.
