Peggy, Thanks for the help. The name was Joseph Shane and he was born about 1850. He had four children born while he lived in Baltimore. He disappears between 1900 and 1907 supposedly in Baltimore. I will need to have city directories searched looking for him. There were five and I recall for that time frame. His wife was Mary Gallagher. Thanks for your help. I will give me new incentive to search more for him. His wife died in 1914 in York, Pa. I Thanks again, Phyllis in Ga. PJShane299@aol.com
