that is the one margee now all i need to do is find out where the scottish connection is there

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 29 Sep 2011 14:15

Don't see a Scottish connection, both parents were born in Ireland.

Blair

Blair Report 29 Sep 2011 14:17

i know but the surname was wrong should be taggart as origanlly it was mac or mctaggart

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 29 Sep 2011 14:24

But that's got to be him with the unusual middle name on the draft registration card giving date and place of birth and wife's name Grace R. It matches exactly the 1920 census.
