Butte Mine Disaster
On the list of the dead I can see my grandfather's name ....John McGinnis. we spell it McGuinness. My father, Daniel, was only a child when his father (John) went to Butte, Montana to work in the mines. My father, his two brothers and one sister were left orphans for his mother died shortly after this. John McGinnis left from Scotland but had left his family in Moville, Co. Donegal in the Rep of Ireland. We (my brothers, sisters and myself) have often talked about it and wondered if our grandfather had any friends in Butte. I know it is asking a lot but we would love to know anything about him. I know he is buried in Butte as one of my cousins visited his grave there. We tried to find out when exactly he left for Montana and on which boat he sailed from Scotland but could not get any information.
