Surnames: Boyle McCracken Schumo Croissant Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/nVF.2ACIB/778 Message Board Post: I have hit a brick wall on my Boyle family in Pennsylvania. My Great-grandfather is Herbert Randall Bayle who married Estelle Schumo. Herbert's surname has been listed as Boyle in census records. I have Herbert's mother's maiden name as Maggie I. McCracken, but I can't find his father's name anywhere. Herbert and his wife, Estelle were born in Pennsylvania, but later moved to New Jersey. Herbert was born in 1891. He was an advertising agent for a shoe sales company. I have the names of Estelle's parents as Daniel Mansfield Schumo and Anna W. Croissant. The Schumo family was in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., PA in the 1920 census. Additional information that I have is that the immigrant ancestor came from Ireland and was called Patrick O'Boyle. I am not sure how many generations passed between Patrick's immigration and Herbert's birth. Any connections? If not, does anyone have the index to the 1910 census who could do a look-up on the surname Boyle or Bayle? -Marjorie :)
