About This Archive
The Archive
The McLay Chronicle is a family archive, not a social network. It exists to preserve what matters — the stories, traditions, people, and moments that shaped this family and the generations still writing what comes next. The story begins with Donna Frisch and Kenneth McLay, married November 4, 1972, and continues forward through every branch that grew from that union.
The Filter
This is not a place for daily updates or casual posts. The filter is simple: will this matter to the family years from now? If yes, it belongs here.
How It Works
Family members with contributor access can submit memories, stories, traditions, and events. Every submission is reviewed by the family caretaker before appearing publicly. Nothing is permanently deleted — stories can be hidden but the record is preserved.
What Belongs Here
Stories. Traditions. Recipes. Reunions. Oral histories. Letters. Photographs. The things someone bothered to write down.
A Note on Scope
This archive focuses primarily on the direct family lineage and the people who significantly shaped its story.
