Tim, Thanks for the information on the FINNERTYs and COONEYs. I have a mention of a few of these people but haven't been able to tie them in yet. I may be closer now with the information you found. Which St. Joseph's Church records do you have? St. Joseph's in Fullerton, Baltimore County is the church that I belonged to for the first 22 years of my life. I've been trying to translate the paragraph of Latin with a dictionary with little or no results. But the perfect solution is to take or email the selection to Roman Catholic priest!!
