I believe your aunt Margaret VALLELY (if I have the relations correct) was a "cousin" of my maternal grandmothers (Mildred [ZSCHAU] O'DONNELL of Quincy, Mass.). Margaret VALLELY never married did she? Was she employed as a housekeeper for the priests at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Quincy, Mass? My mom recalls as a child visiting her mother's "cousin" Margaret in a nursing home. She thinks Margaret had rheumatoid arthritis from early in life. She most likely never married; she died in 1974 while in a Braintree or Weymouth, Mass. nursing home. Does that sound correct? If you're interested, I would enjoy discussing this further off-line. Hope to hear from you soon. Best Regards, Nancy
