Blessings, everyone, My father was Arthur William McCallister, born Aug 2,1929. The McCallister family goes back to Leitrim and Sligo, with a few from Armagh. It's an interesting search as the name is spelled McAllister, McAlister, McCallister....even within the same family units. Anyone think we might be related?
