Another Set of McGill Bros.

It is a small world, isn't it. Heard from another Bob McGill that signed our "OkieLegacy Guestbook." Also, his name is Robert Lee McGill of central coast California whom also has an older brother named Merle Eugene "Gene" McGill of Union, Arkansas.

It amazes us every time we hear from others concerning a possible family connection. Yep! This week we heard that our northwest Oklahoma McGill clan are not the only ones out there. There is another set of McGill Brothers with the same names as our McGill brothers, Gene & Bob.

What is so amazing about this is... their names are identical to our McGill brothers of northwest Oklahoma (Merle Eugene & Robert Lee McGill). Although, our NW Oklahoma McGill brothers have been deceased since 1954 & 1986, these NEW McGill brothers of Edwards County, Kansas are still living in California & Arkansas.

Unlike the Edwards County, Kansas McGill Clan migrating from New York State in the early 1800's to Lewis, Kansas and then to central coast of California and Union, Arkansas ... Our McGill clan migrated from Soddy, Tennessee to McPherson, Kansas before settling in northwest Oklahoma Territory around 1893. We wonder if this could be another McGill family connection with these new Edwards County, Kansas McGills.

Yep! It looks like Lewis, KS is straight North of Alva, OK. (Yahoo Map Link - Lewis, KS & Alva, OK) It is a small world out there, isn't it?! How often do you suppose that happens? Has this ever happened to you?
