Dear Cheryl, My Great Grandmother's name was Sydney McKee. She was born in the South Side of Pittsburgh in 1821. Family stories say she was related to the glass works family and her son named his youngest son Sellers. She married William G. Brown in 1841 and died in 1879. I just took a chance to write to you to see if you could help me with my elusive Sydney.
