So, they have been seen by a fair number of McCann researchers. Since you've not had any responses, thought I'd check the Census. There is a McCann Family in the 1900 Census of Chicago, Cook, IL with a Frank listed as b. PA but his dob is shown as Jan 1879 not Jan 1882 as in your Joseph Frank McCann's two Draft Reg. cards. However this 1900 Chicago McCann family has a Mother named Margaret. And, the Father, John, is a policeman and son, Frank, is working in 1900 as a guard for the Elevated R.R. By 1910, your Frank, w/ wife Pearl, is a policeman, and promoted to Sergeant by 1918. This needs more work, but it appears feasible that John and Margaret were the parents of your Frank Joseph. Also, noted in the Illinois Death Index that there was a Margaret M. McCann who died in Chicago, Cook county, IL 12/9/1942. http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/databases.html Regards, Jane, List & Board Admin.
