Lin and Ann, I believe the James you are referring to is James Benjamin McCann b. Sep 20, 1901 Washburn Co., WI, d. Nov 1941 Bellingham, WA, the son of Peter McCann and Mary Sharlow (now spelled Charland). James was raised in Chippewa Co., WI and married Myrtle Rudy. They had a son named Gene and a daughter named Betty. James applied for a delayed birth certificate in Washburn Co., WI between 1940-1941, before moving to WA. He was killed shortly afterwards in a logging accident near his new home in Bellingham, WA. He was forty years old.

Hi Debra, Thank you. There are so many paralels between this family and a large extended family I am researching...but I don't have an indication of a Wisconsin link. There was a James McCann b about 1865 who came from Ireland (prob through PA) in the second ahlf of the 1800's and eventually ended up in Montana he died in a mining accident in the late 1800's in Montana. His brother William and sons Eugene and possibly James came to Seattle WA in the early 1900's. They were likely to ahve been tied to a family where Peter, and possibly Arthur and Steven, were prevalent names. I am eager to see what Ann learns about her families ties to Ireland. Thanks for staying in touch. Lin At 03:14 PM 6/17/02 -0700, you wrote: >Lin and Ann, > > I believe the James you are referring to is James Benjamin McCann >b. Sep 20, 1901 Washburn Co., WI, d.
