Surnames: Flynn/McGovern Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Yl.2ADE/2333 Message Board Post: I recently received an obit on my gggrandfather Thomas Flynn b. 1838 in Ireland d. 1907 Louisville, KY. He was a master marble carver. On this obit, it stated it was copied to the Minneapolis and Davenport Iowa newspapers. I'm trying to figure out why? I wasn't aware he had relatives there? Possibly relatives of his wife's rather than his? His wife's name was Mary Ann McGovern b. 1847 in KY. Anyone with any hints would be greatly appreciated!
