New MC Line: Clare-Bruce---MacDonald- - - Houstoun - Fleming [Pt II]
John Ravilious
Hello Douglas, David et al.,
This is the second part of my post on the new MC line to Sir Patrick Houstoun, Alexander Hamilton and Daniel Roberdeau. I have deleted most of the original, and inserted the Houstoun information after generation 10.
Again, all comments, suggestions and criticism welcome.
