To help an Irish friend find his great-grandmother, I subscribed to this list and am making this query. Mary Lavinia (maiden surname unknown) married Fred PARKER in England. She had probably grown up somewhere in the State of New York, USA. Does she look familiar to anyone? Please excuse me if I'm posting to the wrong list. I joined the other PARKER list as well but neither the welcome letters nor the webpages for the mailing lists specify exactly what's required on them, other than PARKER research. I'll post this to the other list as well so to cover the bases for my friend. --Thanks! Carol (Huffington) Menges
