Classification: Query
Surnames: O'Connor, Kelly, Lawrence, McClennan, McGurl, Kraft, Bell
My grt-grandmother's brothers, Frank C. & Lawrence, immigrated during the 1850s, from Westfalen, Prussia.
Frank stayed in Minersville, marrying Catherine O'Connor abt 1863. Their children: Mary married Patrick Kelly; Frank J. married Bessie Lawrence; Bertha, John, Joseph & Louis died as children; Anna married M. J. McClennan; Katie; Ellen; & Gertrude married Thomas J. McGurl.
Lawrence went on to Ashland where he married Anna M. Kraft in 1869. Their children: Elizabeth; Louis; Mary married James J. Bell; Frank H.; Englebert; William J.; Anna F., & Harry.
Have been trying to trace all thru Census, but... Hope these may be familiar to someone, who can help me over the hurdles.
Thanks.
