All French-Canadians are related as they are descended from about 2.500 people. They also have some of the best kept records in the world. Please feel free to post queries, events, pictures, tell stories, etc.
Funny, Denise. Ha! We could be related and probably are, way, way, way back when. My family emigrated from Ireland to Pennsylvania in the 1850's. John J. Coughlin and Bridget Keenahan came over a few years apart, met, married, and…
Are we taking December off or I have missed the calendar (new glasses ANYTHING is possible!!)?? I'm assuming January we will be re-dedicated to our pursuit of genealogy :)
Hey! I'm behind on all my podcasts so, please forgive me :) I noticed that Tosca is no longer with us. I'm sorry to hear about it. I too lost a cat this year. Always tough. But on a happy note, I just pulled up the NGS Conference sessions…
I ran across a first name while doing a Findagrave.com request that I can't get out of my mind......Fairybelle.......and apparently there's another Fairybelle in the county as well.....road trip to find her marker as well!!!
Yeh, it is hard. We have been taking care of her for 20 years now and it gets harder and harder. She has 3 other sons that have never really taken care of her and I used to have a SIL that helped and she died about 5 years ago. But, now it is…
I started listening when ya'll first started way back when. The boss is out this week so I decided to start all over again to get motivated again. Ya'll have come a LONG way since 2005!!
Took & posted my first photos on FAG today. Yeah! Was able to fulfill one photo request & added some that weren't listed yet. Good day!! Now if I could just find that one nagging grave for a photo request I'd be a happy camper :)
Taking a "break" at work and saw your recent email about the Ancestry magaizne on Google Books. What a find!! I noticed several others that I like listed as well. Thanks as always!!!
Hi Guys! Did some catching up on the last few eposides & just finished listening to #188. Another great podcast! I had to laugh though. I got my first mp3 player at the same time ya'll started the podcast. I love how folks are catchng up on…
Funny, Denise. Ha! We could be related and probably are, way, way, way back when. My family emigrated from Ireland to Pennsylvania in the 1850's. John J. Coughlin and Bridget Keenahan came over a few years apart, met, married, and the rest is history. The name John J. Coughlin is repetetive a few times in each generation. They settled in Girardville, PA (Schuylkill County), and by the 1900's several were migrating to Philadelphia, PA. It seems your Coughlin's are of Canada, New York, and MA. It was nice hearing from you. Let me know if we cross in our lineage anywhere, and I will do the same. Take care. Denise
Yeh, it is hard. We have been taking care of her for 20 years now and it gets harder and harder. She has 3 other sons that have never really taken care of her and I used to have a SIL that helped and she died about 5 years ago. But, now it is getting to the point to where she cannot do things on her own, so, her next to oldest son is now retired and trying to help (thank God). He and my husband are trying to put her in an apartment halfway between us and him and where she has people she can be with. One minute she wants to do it, the next minute she don't. He has fixed his extra bedroom up for her and she doesn't want to go over there. She just wants to come to our house. My poor husband, who is horribly sick with Psoriatic Arthritis, has to put up with her. She watches him and the minute he walks out to go to his shop and have some time, he see's her walking down there. We are trying to be patient, but, it is hard.
