I am searching for my gg-grandparents, James Hamilton McKee (born about 1849) and Rachel Green McKee (born about 1851) in or around Glasgow. They were married supposedly Feb 21, 1868 in Bridgeton, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland. In the late 1880's they immigrated with their 10 children from Glasgow to New York City. Some of the children's names were Barbara, Mary, John and James. Their youngest and last child was born in New York City, in an area called Hell's Kitchen...his name was Joseph Dunn McKee and he was born August 14, 1891 and he was my great-grandfather. If anyone knows anything about James and Rachel, or any of their children, I would love to hear from you. I have attached a picture of James with 10 other men, taken in Scotland in 1880 before he immigrated to New York. If you know any of these people, please let me know.
Thanks, Christy
