Cathy, Thanks much! Believe that the following record is for one of my grandfather's brothers: 51A 29 82-25 2A Flynn Michael Inmate m w 76 Ireland St. Elisabeth is consistent with our oral family history, but this is the first written record that I have. His age is consistent with his birth year, but he was born in New York State. Aren't records wonderful. Tom > > > ==== IASCOTT Mailing List ==== > Reminder!
