I have a story about my ggrandmother in a grave plot with who I thought were strangers....when I was in Troy NY back in the 1990s checking on my ancestors, I found the grave where my ggrandmother was buried. The graveyard is owned and managed by a Catholic Church and they gave me a copy of an index card that showed who owned the plot and who was buried in it. Well, it was owned by Timothy O'Connor, my gggrandfather. My ggrandfather, James O'Connor was not in grave but his wife, my ggrandmother was in it. She died in 1892. The rest of the people in the plot were all Maloneys! Well, to make this story shorter, just this year I heard from the gggrandson of Hannah Maloney who is in the grave. Well, her maiden name was O'Connor! She was Timothy's daughter and James' sister. She was my great aunt! All the other Maloney's in the grave were her husband and some of her children, my cousins. So, Jack, those who seem like strangers to you now, may turn out to be cousins, aunts and or uncles! -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by ZoneAlarm AntiVirus

Great story...thanks a lot...I've tried the raogk and left a message there...great tip. I've been asking a contact in RI to help out for years with no joy...so hopefully this request will bear fruit!
