Bonnie, The 1900 enumeration of Henry A. Maginnis indicates his parental nativities are Ire. & Mo. so the 1850 Emily is probably his mother. May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!

From your information is it plausible that Emily is Archibald's mother in Dubuque, Iowa (Richard, father), in 1850, then they moved to Benton (LaFayette Co., Wis.) where he married Susan and lived there in 1860? What should be my next step to document any of this? I am new to genealogy and find it extremely frustrating. I certainly admire those of you who persist and keep delving into these mysteries. > > Would it be of help to try to find an obituary in the Dubuque Telegraph Herald, since Archibald died in 1928, buried in Linwood Cemetery there? How do I access the records of either of these (newspaper or cemetery)? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
