MEMORIES FOR MOTHER'S DAY!

ON MOTHER'S DAY...A LITTLE FAMILY GENEOLOGY IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL! YES, WE ALL HAVE 'ROOTS'!

Kate Donlon (b.???; d. 1911) Wife of Patrick Donlon, mother of Mae, John and Thomas. And "grandma" of Tom, Patricia, Elizabeth, Edward and Joseph Stephens. How 'bout that!



















Mae Donlon (b. 1907; d. 1970) Wife of Edward Stephens, mother of (you guessed it!) Tom, Patricia, Elizabeth, Edward and Joseph.





































There's somethin' very Irish about this pic! Look at those cutie Stephens sisters, Pat and Eliz, in the fiercely protective embrace of dear Mae.








Mae and girls!


This great pic needs no comment! A keeper!





























And here's Daisy Mariah Gaugh-Rothenhoefer (1872-1960). Mother of Mary Irene Rothenhoefer-Christopher. Yeah, kids, my grandmother, your great-grandmother!






















And here's my dear mom, Mary Irene Rothenhoefer-Christopher 1911; 1996). Your grandma on your father's side.


Guess who!! Yes, Super Mom, Mary Pat!Be proud! You have many great women in your family history. Imagine all the ones we don't even know about. But thanks to them....
...you live today!
