UNDER CONSTRUCTION (13 Jun 2023 Atorrey)

Our Goal is to Create Paths from Patrick McIlvane of Ayrshire Scotland to post-colonial America.

The Two profiles I've added are married, yet both have a direct blood connection with Patrick McElveen separately. For me, this project creates a direct path, as Susannah's and William McElveen's daughter. William McElveen's lineage was broken when his family moved to South Carolina. Thus Bridger and Katie are both direct descendants of Patrick McElveen.
I invite anyone collaborating on this project to add their profiles connecting to Patrick.
