+The purpose of these family history pages is to document and archive our family history for my children and for my relatives' families. I have a lot of paper history that I fortunately carried around for a lot of years. My plan is to digitize as much of it as possible so that our children and grandchildren won't have to carry around boxes of musty old paper. This web site is my personal project and I expect it to be around for a good long time. But it won't be here forever. I encourage you to download and archive this material to your computer so that you can have it for your children after I am gone.
+I would love to get more family history and important pictures! If you have material you would like to share please contact me at bob (at) baggerman.org.
 ===== Halliday Family Background =====
+[[http://www.baggerman.org/FamilyHistory/JeanHBaggerman/William_Halliday/Clan%20Halliday.pdf|Clan Halliday]] - This is a nice summary of the Hallidays in Scotland. Our lineage is primarily from the [[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dumfriesshire,+Lockerbie,+Dumfries+and+Galloway,+UK/@55.1763217,-3.510566,10.75z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x487d4cecfa5ea815:0xf3a6030ba447c217!8m2!3d55.2!4d-3.506?hl=en|Dumfriesshire, Scotland]] region. There is a lot more information about our Scottish heritage in the John Holliday and Family Tree books linked below.
 The Hallidays originally came from Scotland via Canada. I have put a lot of information into a Halliday (and Baggerman) family tree. As of this writing there are about 350 names in the tree. There are lots of different ways to slice and dice family trees. Below are links to a few different views of the family tree. Here are some tip for navigating the family tree web interface.

+The MacLeods and Donald Trump - Donald Trump's mother was Mary Anne MacLEOD, born on 10 May 1912 in Isle of Lewis, Scotland. There are MacLeods in our family tree also but there is no direct blood lineage to our MacLeods or definitive connection to Mary Anne MacLEOD. Grandma Vivian Halliday's (nee MEECH) paternal grandfather was William E MEECH. The tree is [[http://www.baggerman.org/tng/descend.php?personID=I156&tree=tree1&display=compact&generations=3|shown here]]. Vivian's father, William Henry MEECH was the son of William E MEECH and Elizabeth LONG. Elizabeth LONG passed away and Vivian's grandfather, William E MEECH, remarried. He married Amelia SUTHERLAND and they had six more children. Two of the daughters with Amelia SUTHERLAND married MacLeods. Elizabeth Evangeline MEECH [[http://www.baggerman.org/tng/familychart.php?personID=I330&tree=tree1|married]] Angus James MACLEOD. Winnifred MEECH [[http://www.baggerman.org/tng/familychart.php?personID=I337&tree=tree1|married]] Donald Hugh MACLEOD. This MacLeod family ultimate came from Scotland but that is where the trail goes cold.
