Dear Michele, Thanks for thinking of me in your travels. I do not think I posted the birthdates of Peter and the girls and will do so now. Jane Costelloe 1826, Margaret Costelloe 1833, Ann Costelloe 1835, and Peter Costelloe 1839. When ever I see the name Costelloe with the "e" I sit up and take notice, not that it hasnt or couldnt be spelled without the "e" In fact my grandfather used the "e" on my mothers birth certificate and left it off my aunts (or was it the other way around??) In any case, I have been at this brick wall for sometime. Peter Costelloe was very prominent in society in Northern Calif and Southern Oregon, He owned land, was a census taker, a post master, and a teacher...I do wish the rest of his family had followed suit! Im beginging to think they dropped off the face the earth! Thanks again, and if you need anything out Oregon way, let me know.
