Charles, I'm not sure yet what street they lived on. I am researching Nora Philbin's family. Nora's sister was my great-grandmother. I just recently received my gg-grandmother's obituary and found that her two sisters, Nora and Mary Ellen, were living in Warren Ohio at the time of her death. I am just getting started researching the Warren connection. It sounds to me like you might be remembering the right people. My Philbins were Catholic. I don't know much about Jim Howe, so I can't say if he had a brother. When you say "I imagine that Nora was related to the other Philbins," are you referring to the Mary Ellen Philbin I listed in my previous e-mail, or were there other Philbins in the neighborhood? I've noticed that there were both Philbins and LYDENs in Warren, and I have ancestors by both names. I've wondered if other relatives moved from West Virginia to Warren. Thank you so much for responding to my posting. This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for when I posted to the list. I'd appreciate any help you can provide. Nancy "Charles J.
