I am helping out a friend. Her mother died years ago and she hasn't anything on her heritage except a article on her grandparents fiftieth wedding anniversary and that her g-g-grandfather was John Dickson. She doesn't know her grandmothers name, but Grandpa was Charles McDonald. She could remember two uncles names George and Larry. I found info on John Dickson and his unusual line that takes me to Grandpa McDonald. Then I ran across your post. I would like to hear from you and maybe get you both connected. Her name is Lori and lives in Howard City. It sounds like she would be your cousin. Please email me at : kabeara@mail.riverview.net I really would like to help her out. She has three children and would like to connect with her past. Thanks
