Dear All, Many thanks to all who have sent replies to my query about Modna. Some have suggested Modena in Ulster Co. I have tried this place without success. Another suggestion was that it is east of Syracuse and I have posted a message on the Onodago Co mailing list. The one I like the most is that it is Moodna Creek as I was told that Modna was in Orange Co. Can anyone help with some information about Moodna Creek. Were there people living there in the 1830s and does anyone have access to records? Thanks again from across the pond. Ros Dunnico. Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. England.
