Robert R. McBride - Date:? Place:?
At first you think it will be fun -- figuring out which of all these McBride lines leads to you, which James or William or Mary or Sara had chromosomes that are now coarsing through your veins. But after a while, you notice eye-strain related headaches. You hear the name McBride, and immediately question said McBride for an hour on his/her family history, hoping that you've found your missing link. You friends start bringing you casseroles and asking you to get out in the sun more. You notice yourself staring off into space and saying to yourself, "but that can't be the same line...there was no Sara McBride, daughter of Angus...".

It is an unspoken rule in my family to not talk to my father about his parents, and my mother hated her husband's father, and won't give me more information than what I have.

I think he lived & died in Texas -- that's where my folks met & got married. Any information would be more appreciated than you'll ever know. I've checked through all of the messages posted here, and unless I just blanked out, I don't think I saw anything.
