Surnames: Flynn, Winters Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4dW.2ACEB/1409 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on the family of Michael Flynn and Rose Winters. They are my gggrandparents and came to the United States from Ireland in the late 1870s. I believe they were in Stark County, Illinois for the 1880 census, and moved into Iowa shortly thereafter. Iowa counties include Louisa, Washington and Wapello. Children: Joseph born 1862 County Meath, Ireland, died February 29, 1904 Hartingon, Cedar County, Nebraska, married Margaret J. Duire/Dwyer at Wapello, Louisa County, Iowa on December 12, 1885. Probably eight children, most died as children. Those that survived and had offspring were Patrick Joseph (my grandfather), Julia, and Mary. Thomas about 1864 Catherine about 1868 Michael about 1872 Lena about 1874 Mary about 1878 I'm not sure about the last two children. Lena shows up on the 1880 census of Stark County, Illinois. All children were born in Ireland, to my knowledge. Mary isn't on the census, but she is mentioned in other researchers information that I have seen. Would love to find out anything I can about these folks! Descendants, ancestors, or even just some more specific details would be great. Thanks, Joni
