Ted Nelson McGill, 77, of Louisville, died on Friday, December 17, 2021.

Ted was an Oblate of St. Benedict of St. Meinrad Archabbey. He was a Scottish Armiger, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (Scotland), a Kentucky Colonel, and the published author of two books. For many years he enjoyed trips to the Isle of Iona, and his genealogy, especially family tree DNA.
