: I am seeking information about the following
: McKee family members who resided in the
: Philadelphia area in the late 1800-early
: 1900s: Bessie McKee was married to Thomas
: Welsh, Sadie McKee was married to Harry
: Ransom (they later moved to Tuscon AZ),
: David McKee was married to Nora (unknown
: surname), Mary McKee was married to Herman
: Kracke move to Mt Ephram or Camden, NJ;
: Joseph McKee (no additional info known) and
: Kate McKee (no additional info known).
: All are brothers/sisters of the same McKee
: family. I am trying to determine parents
: names and from what part of Ireland they
: came as well as any additional information
: about each individual.

: I am responding to Heather's information. I
: am her aunt. Her father is my next to the
: oldest brother. Her response was pretty
: accurate, I only have a small amount to add,
: My grandfather, William Clarence was born in
: West Virginia in 1899 and died in 1970 (in
: Wooster,Ohio.) He moved to Ohio later. Not
: sure of any of the dates. My Father Loran
: Frederick was one of two children born to
: William Clarence. His brother's name was
: William also. My father Loran was born in
: Marysville, Ohio in 1920. It was originally
: told to me that when our
: great-great(+)grandfather was one of 5
: brothers who came to America. I can't give
: any details. It would be great to find more
: relatives. Hope this helps with the hunt for
: more relatives and information. One other
: correction is my sister Pam's actual name is
: Nola Pam, Not Pamela Nicole.
: Good luck in your endeavors.
