Hi Larry,

I was so delighted to read all the information in your message. I have been working on my family tree on both sides for several years but have very little information on the Rowes/Duhigs.

All of the info your mother related was correct. Frank had 7 sisters: Lucy, Gert, Dot, Mary, Bernie, Kitty and I can't remember the last one's name. They are all gone now; Bernie, the youngest passed away a few years ago.

Margie Rowe was my mother. She and my father, Don, who painted President Ford's portrait, were both killed in a car accident in 1993. Betty is, as you said, in a nursing home in Lebanon, PA.

The Rowes lived on Grant Street in South Bethlehem. Their home was torn down several decades ago when Lehigh University built some new dorms.

I know that the Rowes lived in Dundalk in County Louth, Ireland. I didn't know the Duhigs were from County Cork. I have hit a dead end when the family goes back to Ireland, which, in this case, is just a few generations back.

I would be so thrilled to see the picture of Katherine and the obituary of Jerimiah and add them to my information. I hate to beg, but would you be so kind as to share them with me? I would also love to see any newspapers clippings you might be willing to share.

We live in Nazareth, PA, about 10 miles or so from Bethlehem. How about you? I am wondering how your mother was related to my mother.

Again, thanks for your response. Look forward to talking to you again.

Patty
