After thousands of emails from this group (literally) I finally have a name I can respond to... :) I have a great-great aunt (Mary Mangan nee Russell) who married Michael J. Mangan in Cook County in 1888. She died in 1957 (Cook County) and was survived by her husband and Lillian, Edward, Florence, Joseph, and the late Daniel, John, and William. I'm not sure if all of these children were her and Michael's or if they were step-children. It may have been a misprint but in her obituary it says, "Mary Mangan, nee Russell, beloved wife of the late Michael J.; dear father of Lillian, Edward, Florence, Joseph, and the late Daniel, John, and William." It just seems odd that none of these children are named after her father (Patrick R. Russell), brother (Robert Patrick Russell) or mother (Mary Ellen Russell nee Barrett). Since the names I've been researching are RUSSELL and BARRETT this is the only information I have with respect the the MANGAN name. Kathy B.
