I live in San Antonio, TX and am 75 years old. My father's name was J. DeVere Green, from in and around Wellsville and Hornell. His mother's name was Emma 'Gonter' Green, who was born on September 18, 1872,and immigrated from Germany to the US with her family while in her teens, which would have been in the late 1880's. The information about: "Joseph Gonter, b. New York d. abt 1893 m1. Unknown, d. before 1890 --2 children, names and dates unknown, though they were teenagers around 1890." The time line is right for Emma Gonter to be one of the children as she was in her teens at that time. I know dad had a "favorite" cousin named Father Rob Gonter who was at the Dunkirk Seminary. And he had other relatives in Wellsville, one of which he was very fond of. I don't remember her name though. Maybe something like Margaret Flannigan. I might be on the right track after all. Grandmother married a John Eugene Green and in the 20's, 40's and 50's they had a Beer Hall and later a corner grocery in Hornell. They had 2 boys, Victor and my dad, J. Devere. Does any of the above information sound familiar to you? Would love to hear from you. Most sincerely, Donna Green Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
