I have many photographs of my Aunt Rose, so it was difficult to choose one to include with this post. I decided that her smile was best in this one.

Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.
It appears that you mixed up James Owen Gaynor Sr. and Jr. on this post. You have the parents for James Sr. listed but the birthday for James Jr.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right, and thank you for noticing my error. I have made the correction in the post.
DeleteDoes this mean you are a Gaynor cousin and also related to my sister?
Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, my father is her second cousin through the John Francis Gaynor III line. I'll keep watching the site this year, as it looks like you have information about the family I don't have.
DeleteWhile I am always happy when people ready my blog, I can also share my research on my sister's family with you directly, if you like. E-mail me at janicemsj@gmail.com and we can discuss it.
