Searching for information about this SHANK family, can anyone help? Sewickley Twp, Westmoreland County, Pa. Census for 1850 David SHANK 67 Farmer Re: $1500 b. Pa. Polly 64 b. Pa. Elizabeth 25 b. Pa. Amand (Amanda) 12 Female b. Pa. Sewickley Twp, Westmoreland County, Pa. Census for 1860 Mary SHANK 74 The quality of the microfilm copied to my Heritage Quest CD is very Elizabeth 47 poor for Sewickley Twp, but I think this is what is listed.

Hi Jo, My Great Grandmother was Mary Hanorah Williams and her parents were David Williams and Ellen Cummings. David was from Tipperary and Ellen was from Waterford Ireland. He was born 11/12/1804 and died 4/5/1883 and she was born (date unk) and died 6/3/1882. Both were Roman Catholic. David came to the US in 1828 and settled in Latrobe, PA. He married Ellen either in the US or in Ireland. I have not been able to determine how they met, or where they married. David left a letter that was handed down to my Aunt. She is now deceased. In the letter, David wrote that: his father was Patrick Williams of Kiltankin, Parish of Templetenny, County Tipperary, Ireland. His paternal grandfather was David Williams and his paternal grandmother was Catherine Hennesey. His paternal great grandfather was Patrick Williams and his great grandmother was Ellen Foley. David Williams indicated that his Mother was Nora Noonan, Parish of Kilbenny, County Limerick, Ireland. His maternal grandfather was Denis Noonan and his maternal grandmother was Mary Fitzgerald. His maternal great grandfather was Timothy Noonan and he did not know who his maternal great grandmother was. He did indicate that both of his great-grandfathers were living at his birth in 1804 and met at his christening by Rev. James Keating, the successor of martyred (in 1766) Father Nicholas Sheehy. I was able to locate a site on the computer of names of people buried in the Kilbeheny Cemetery as seen by a Father Wallace Clare in the 1950's. It is stated that this is also known as Kilbenny which lies 4 miles ENE of Mitcheltown Co., Cork adjoining border with county Limerick. Looking under the listing of people buried there, it appears that there is one grave that matches my information and would appear to be my Great Great Grandfather's-Grandfather David Williams. Under the Williams grave information it states" Here lieth the body of David Williams of Kiltankin who departed Jan. 26, 1811 age 68. Also his wife Catherine Williams, alias Henesey, departed February 1, 1815 age 67 years." I looked through some other grave names listed at this computer site and did see a couple of Fitzgeralds and Noonans that could also be relatives. I wrote to the author of this web site and he encouraged me to write to someone that he thought may be a relative. This person asked me to send him copies of all my information. I included photocopies of my Great Grandparents Mary Hanorah Williams and Patrick Doran. She was perhaps a distant cousin of mine and was going to share the information with the Priest at this Parish of Templetenny, but I never got any response. So, I continue to search the pieces of my Irish roots and hope that one day I will locate someone who knows some of the history about this family. I am also hoping to find out if my GG Grandfather had any sibs. In a will he makes reference to a niece Bridget. I am assuming that this person was in the US, but I do not know if this is so. I hope that you do not mind me copying the Limerick, Waterford and Tipperary sites, but I am anxious to see if there is anyone out there that knows of this family or is related. Thanks. Mary Ellen P.S. Also seeking information on Patrick Doran's parents James Doran and wife, Mary Kennedy Doran from Callows County, Ireland. They settled in Wilmore, Cambria county PA in 1832. I have little information on them.

We have used the Pitt Digital Library, now I have found the Penn State Digital Bookshelf. There are some great books on it. Just read the autobiography of Flora Lowry-very interesting! Here is the link. http://apps.libraries.psu.edu/digitalbookshelf/books.cfm Dawne

Does anyone know of an area known as Martinez ca 1940? This "town" would have been known to the residents of Derry. Thanks. Michael

This post caught my eye bacause I live in Martinez, (Contra Costa County) CA. Didn't know there was a "sister city" near my Grandma's home town. "My" Martinez is birthplace of Joe Dimaggio, home of John Muir, was a pony express stop, and claims to be the place where the martini was invented. Would love to learn more about its counterpart in Pennsylvania. --RB PAWESTMO-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > Subject: > Martinez > From: > "Michael L.
