This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Donovan, Hanna Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BBB.2ACI/1923 Message Board Post: This has been posted before, but maybe someone has come across something since I last posted. I am looking for any and all information about John Frank Donovan and his father, Thomas, before 1840. John Frank was born in Covington in 1826 according to the 1880 census. I THINK Thomas' father was named John, but can't prove it. Any family info would be gratefully received. Jeannie Gayle
