This list has wonderful people! This obituary clears up a couple of names in the document I found in Dad's papers after he died -- that 1935 probate document in Cook County. Now I know who the "Harridge" and "Heinz" people who were co-heirs with my great-grandfather, Michael Moran. I'll be following through with a request for Molly to find the death certificate for Nora Gibbons -- two people sent me the list, and the 1935 Nora Gibbons death in Peoria -- that sounds as if it could be our relative. I'm hoping that the death certificate will give us a clue about the townland/parish in Ireland (Newport, County Mayo, Ireland). However, whatever it gives us -- we'll enjoy the journey!
