Celebrations [Photos]

The 4th of July  

America's Independence Day

  A day of celebration!

 Most everyone I know likes to celebrate this American national holiday with family and the outdoors. Picnics and gatherings galore. Here are some pictures of children and families playing, picnicking, and enjoying the outdoors. The pictures are mainly from 1940ish to 1990's. All of the pictures are of descendants of 
ALEXANDER McGILLIVRAY, 
son of John and Mary Jane (Hudson) McGillivray, 
with some close friends, some of which became relatives!

1952 - Minnesota
