Descendants of John and Nancy McBride

These are the descendants of John and Nancy McBride as recorded in my database at the time this page was last made. Only given names are entered for persons surnamed Eighner. Otherwise, surnames are shown in ALL CAPS. People who might be living and who have not explicitly given me permission to name here are represented by a capital M, F, or U (for male, female, or unknown) and a code word or number. Code names and numbers are chosen at random and are not meant to suggest anything about the person whose name they stand for. It is very likely that some deceased people are shown here by code name or number because I do not have a reliable report of the death. It is also possible that I have listed someone as deceased because I have misidentified him or her or made a false assumption because of his or her advanced age; I have tried very hard to avoid this kind of error, but in a mass of data like this, errors are almost inevitable.

I have been unable to turn up any reliable information on some branches, and in other cases I have a little information which might the basis for some good guesses, but have not entered my guesses in the database. There are numerous defects in tracing descendants through the female line (that is, families of daughters). I originally set out to trace the Eighner name. When I had software sufficiently good to include the girls, I found it was extremely difficult to turn up information on them once their surname changed. In several cases what little information I have owes to researchers working on the girls' married names.
