McNeills

I remember the three McNeill sisters, Mollie, Annie and Bridie. I think we visited them in Donegal, and if I recall correctly they came to the US too? Or maybe just visited us at the Continental?

Anyway, these three were the daughters of Anna McBride's sister Katherine. She married George McNeill. George and Katherine had 5 children, the other two were Alexander (who marries Maude Kelly) and Celine, who marries Hugh McColgan.

Alexander and Maude have four children: George, Eugene, Ann and Mary (in order of age) [thanks Derek for correction].  George's son Derek is on ancestry.com! He lives in Scotland, but grew up in Dooish.

Derek says he may have a photo of the original house in Dooish, possibly the place Anna grew up in. Looking forward to seeing that!

Here's Derek's pic from ancestry:


Also, below pic from Joanne (I think Martin sent too) showing Annie & Molly's trip to the US, late 1950s:
