James and Annie MacNeil & Children


So as we start to branch out, I think I’ll start on the MacNeil side. I don’t have as much information, or as many pictures for this side, as I do the Jacobs side. Running into some snags as far as that goes, but I’ll post the pictures and information that I do have. (Unfortunately, through this process, I've noticed that the obituary information and the census information, along with birth date, immigration date, etc., is sometimes WAY off from each other. I'm not sure if it's just a lot of misprints or what, but... all I can do it just post the information that I have.)

As mentioned in the previous post, the parents of Cecil R. MacNeil were:
