Mary MacKillop

[Graham Lawrie]

Hi Guys,

You may or may not be aware in the news recently in the UK, there has been mention of a female saint in Australia, Mary MacKillop.

She was ordained a Saint recently, low and behold she is a relative of mine

As a hobby of my eldest brother Iain, he researched our family tree as far back as 1745. He found her and put her on our family tree on Genes
Reunited.

He was inundated with request about lineage to Mary, so he removed her from our tree.

I come from a big family with many, many relatives.

Small but interesting fact

That's awesome!!
I've always wanted to chase up my family history to see if there is anything interesting in there.... I don't think there is, but hey that is awesome!!

I just had uncles that hang with some pretty awesome people lol They both sadly died when they were young, so i didn't get the flow on benefit
