Maloney Line

Well, after doing further research into the Maloney line, I discovered that all the work has been done over there!
That means I get to focus more on my direct lines.

Maloney Line

I received a letter notifying me that the social security office received my request for records and that it should be completed within 30 days. Yay!

In the meantime, I started working on another line:

Marie Agnes Maloney is the wife of Harry Wheeler Chabin, brother of John Able Chabin, Sr. Harry Wheeler Chabin is my Mom's Grandma's Uncle.

Marie Agnes Maloney was born to Richard E Maloney and Amelia Ryan (parent's name gathered from Chaffin book of descendants). I found them, and found Richard's parents, Patrick Thomas Maloney and Mary Anne McCarthy.
Richard E Maloney and Amelia Ryan-Maloney's Gravestone. I still have no idea who Kathryn is. I have been able to identify all their children, none of which is a Kathryn, or anything close to that. We'll see if I can find out who it is eventually.

Photos of Henry K Miller and Louise Marie Chabin-Miller

Here are some photos of them:
Louise Marie Chabin when she graduated from High School (photo was found with her diploma)

Henry K Miller when he joined the Navy. He joined when he was 17, lied about his age to get in.

Scanning

I just finished scanning a batch of photos from my grandfather's side of the family. Once I get people identified I'll post them for your enjoyment!

Beatrice Mary Pray- Smith

Well, I got back the results from New Orleans, Louisiana that Beatrice was not born there. Sad day.
I'm still waiting for Louise Mary Pray-Chabin's social security application, which I'm hoping will be the turning point in my research.

New FamilySearch Duplicates

So, I was setting up my new.familysearch.org account so that I could have all my genealogy research online to use. It took me a while to get it set up, but I got it all up there. Now, the problem is that the further back the lines go, the more duplicates there are. I've spent about 2 hours resolving duplicates, and I'm still working on them!

Luckily, this gives me something to do while I wait for the birth certificate research request from Louisiana to come back.
