Can Anyone Help Connect These Two McNamer Familys?
My McNamer branch of the family tree has been a very high brick wall as long as I can remember, however, in the past ten years, I've had some success.First in finding Catherine McKinley Emery, whose mother was a McNamer, and my father's half-brother finding the marriage lisence & certificate of my grandparents, wihich FINALLY gave us the name of my grandfather's parents.Now I would like to have your help in connecting Catherine's and my McNamers in one large family!We know we are closely related, due to similar family looks and family names, but that is all we have to go on!
