The chance that another McCandlish will happen upon this message is practically nil, but why not? My father, Charles Sheild McCandlish, and his father, Robert John McCandlish Jr., did extensive research on the family name. If you would like to contact me, ask me any questions, or think you have any information I might not have (i.e.-Who was the first McCandlish to come over, from where, when?) then please don't hesitate.
