The death certificate of my husband's grandfather, Oscar Johnson 1892-1959, states that his father was William Johnson, born in Ireland, and his mother was Katherine (Catherine) McCready, born in St. John, NB. We've been able to locate one Katherine McCready born in St. John but have been unable to connect her to either William Johnson or to Oscar. Oscar was suppose to have been born in Calais, ME but the records were burned in a fire. I've searched high and low for some proof that these people ever existed as a family or even just one of the parents and the child. We are very close to hiring a professional but thought we'd try one last time to see if anyone on ancestry.com might be able to help.
