McKellar Genealogy

Welcome to my family history.

This site concentrates on the McKellars descended from Malcolm McKellar, born around 1720 in Scotland. Several of his descendants emigrated to Australia or New Zealand. In later generations, some emigrated further to Mexico and the United States; there is at least one branch in Canada.

In addition, I have listed some information on my paternal grandmother, a SCOTT from the Virginia aristocracy. See also the Civil War memoirs of her father, Bradford Ripley Alden SCOTT.

I have also included RHODES and RISSER on my mother's side, and their connections. Finally, I am starting to add my wife's relations. So far I have mostly included MCCAUGHEY, MAY, RUBLE, TREADWAY, and O'DONNELL. Still to come is LARIMER.

Policy

I have tried not to post the names of any living people without their consent. This policy involves some guesswork, and I have probably guessed wrong in some cases.

In particular: unless I know otherwise, anyone born after 1910 is assumed to be still alive. Anyone else is fair game (or soon will be).

There's more...

These pages contain nearly all of my MCKELLAR relations that I know about, except for persons who may still be alive (see above). Other branches are incompletely represented, for either of two reasons:

  1. I haven't gotten to them yet. Instead of generating HTML from a database or gedcom file, I write it by hand. I get better control that way, but it takes a lot longer.
  2. The information is available from published sources which it would be pointless to duplicate. This factor applies mostly to the Virginia aristocracy (the SCOTTs and their relations) and to the Mayflower crowd.
  3. The connections extend too far from my own lines -- I have to draw a line somewhere. Sometimes I include a note indicating that more information is available than shown.

When you see what looks like a dead end, I may have more information that I haven't posted yet. Email me for more.

Organization

Ideally, everyone listed on these pages would have a separate entry, which you could find through an index.

In practice, many of them show up only as a parent, spouse or child of somebody else, especially when I have no further information on them. I would rather spend my time adding more material than repeating it in separate entries, or manually maintaining a proper index.

Disclaimer

I am no genealogist. I have merely compiled information painstakingly collected by others. Apart from mindless typos, any errors on these pages are somebody else's fault!
