From Mary Frances Crowe Brodie, September, 2019:

Margaret Agatha McKenzie was my Grandfather Wilbur Crowe’s Mother. (Wilbur was my mother’s Father (he and my grandmother adopted me but my Mom, Frances Hughleen Crowe, raised me along with them) Before I was born in 1966, Frances and her husband adopted my sister, Deborah Kenner. Frances’ husband Chester Kenner was killed at Allegany Ballistics Laboratory in WV in 1963 at the age of 27. We are just still amazed that Debbie is somehow genetically related to our family as well. When you say links, I’m assuming you mean the above names- Margaret Agatha McKenzie is as far back that I knew. I hope this helps. Thank you so much.
