The McWilliam Saga

The McWilliam Saga is a book published in 1986 detailing the story of John McWilliam, born in Scotland in 1811, and the details of his descendents.

This website has been created with the intent of republishing that work and eventually creating the opportunity to maintain a network of family members.  (That explains the choice of the .net for the domain).

The project commences now with the publication online of the original book in *.pdf form.  Please click the links below to open the various chapters.

If you are a family member interested in further developing this site and the project – please e-mail me (click on my name to follow a link).

I have listed on an updates page a few updates on family members.
