Carol, Seems that Jim Dolan, yourself and I have some family names in common. I grew up in South Side, and on my father's mother's side, the line is Maguire-Finnegan. I can remember as I young boy some Dempsey and Coggins relations. I know that the Scranton Finnegan's are from Easkey Co. Sligo. WHen I was nine, my family moved over to West Side, so I know Eynon Street well, I lived in the 1100 block of West Locust. I'm in New York now, so my record digging is sort of on hiatus until the fall. Jim --- PUSTULKA@aol.com wrote: > Hi Jim, > > I have been in contact with Jim Dolan.
