Shannon’s puzzle revealed
As part of our finding your roots project, funded by WNET in New York, we took a look at WHYY employee Shannon McDonald’s roots. We learned quite a bit about her maternal grandfather — William Carl “Bama” Warwick — last week. This week we focus on where her McDonald surname comes from.
