Meri,

So good to see you are keeping this going, wish I could do more to help. I have been digging and digging to unfold the mystery of our true origin without any results.
When my daughter went to Ireland, she could not find anything.
Guess we just have to keep the faith something will break.

Hi, Meri. I love your blog! Please note an error in the paragraph which begins:
“He married Arminda Alice HENDRICKS 29 JUL 1901 in Duncan, Graham Co., Arizona…”
The correct county is "Greenlee" instead of "Graham".
An interesting note from the brief life history written by my Uncle Frank (James Franklin MCGRATH)states that the first official LDS meeting in the Duncan Valley was held in the home of James Alonzo MCGRATH at his homestead on the Gila River in Grant County, NM just across the state line from Franklin, AZ.

Thanks, Carl. Actually, it was Graham County in 1901 when they were married. Greenlee County was formed in 1909. Marriage records will be under Graham County.

Thanks for the insight/correction. Is there a similar explanation for why Richmond, NM is sometimes said to be in Grant Co. and other times in Hidalgo Co.?
