Sidney Crosby
I recently learned that superstar hockey guy Sidney Crosby is my fourth cousin.
My grandmother on my dad's side was Mary Bridget McCarron. She was born 9 April 1893. Her father, William E. McCarron had a smallish family of ten children. A good Irish Catholic family - God bless 'em. Mary's older brother, Gregory, himself had three children. His daughter, Katherine (Katie) McCarron, married Harry Forbes and, in turn, they had six children. One of them, a daughter, Trina Forbes married Troy Crosby ('Tracy' according to the geneology website). Subsequently, Sidney Crosby was born with a hockey stick in 1987. Sidney was the first overall pick in the 2005 NHL entry draft and has a way cooler website than mine.

Yup. I knew of Owen growing up as a kid and his fame with Spiderman and all. Never met him though.
The MacDonald's attended the big McCarron family reunion that was held in New Glasgow in the early 1990s. (I forget the exact year.) Were you there then?
I'm Allister McCarron, From Antigonish and we were at the Family Reunion in 1990's. My father Leo McCarron, son of Jack McCarron, Had 8 children. 5 Boys and 3 girls.
I believe the McCarron family reunion was in the summer of 1990 in New Glasgow, NS. I may have even met you as well as that of my family. Thanks for dropping by!
I was at the Mc Carron reunion in New Glasgow as it is my hometown. My Grandfather was Leo McCarron who helped along with his brother Eddie manage the old Coffee Shop in New Glasgow. Hugh mc Carron managed the Mc Carron's Tea room as well. My father was the oldest of Leo's children. His name was Willian(Bill) Mc Carron who married Mary Macdonald of Westville
