Hello-o-o-o- Cousin Doug - Your mother's aunt Anne FOLEY married my mother's uncle, John COURTNEY, what do you know.

You are the fourth formerly unknown cousin I have met under MNGENWEB, Waseca County !!

Are we the same generation ?? I think so, I was born 28 Dec 1924 in Waseca Memorial Hosp, Waseca, MN.

Here is T. CAWLEY's short obit from Child's Hist of Waseca Co, publ 1905:

Mr. Thomas CAWLEY, of Blooming Grove (Twp.), who came to this county in 1866, after a long illness, died Sunday night, Aug 15, 1897, surrounded by his family. His funeral, which was very largely attended , took place at the Catholic Church (Sacred Heart) in Waseca, and his remains were laid to rest in the Catholic Cemetery, (Calvary) south of that city. (brackets, mine)

Minnesota Historical Society, recently moved in St. Paul? has the two Histories of Waseca Co, Newspapers on film, etc., right next door to you. Wish I lived there too.

Happy to exchange everything I have on the families in my computer program PAF, database. My entire database is in Waseca Co Hist Society, Waseca, MN. And they have all the court records too.
