      Subject: Re: Conversation with Jim Delaney; DNA follow upM

      Russ,

      Here is the information that I have from my records but I do not have official source documents.

      James K. Delaney, Born: December 19th, 1835 (Co. Wexford, Ireland), Married: Anna M. Sutton on September 19th, Died: November 26th, 1913 in Atlanta, GA. He and Anna are buried in Allouez Cemetery.

      James K. Delaney arrived in the U.S.A. in 1847 and his parents are Peter and Ellen (apparently from a Milwaukee census but Peter is also buried at Allouez Cemetery....Peter was borne in 1801 and died on February 13th, 1877.

      Children of James K. Delaney and Anna M. (Sutton):

      -Ellen Agnes (my great-grandmother) was born on December 2nd, 1857, Married Henry J. Mahony (I have more records of my great-grandparents)

      -James Henry Delaney was born on April 17th, 1860, Married Libby K. Robbins,November 29th, 1887 and died on December 26th, 1926

      -Joseph Peter Delaney was born on February 4th, 1864, Married Minnie (Lowe?) on February 24th, 1884, Married again on January 1st 1924 to Hattie M. Smith, Died: March 28th, 1934

      -John Michael Delaney was born on November 4th, 1865, Married Katherine Burke, October 18th, 1894, Died: July 29th, 1911
      John Michael may have been a salesperson who spent time in Minneapolis. He died in Minneapolis but is buried in Allouez Cemetery.

      - Mary Ann Delaney was born on June 3rd, 1870, Married Peter M. Nadon, November 8th, 1898, Died: ?, buried at Allouez Cemetery

      There were others that apparently died as infants: Joe, December 5th, 1862; Thomas, September 28th, 1856; Girl, December 23rd, 1867; Boy, December 11th, 1868; Boy, July 24th, 1873.

      I have notes from an early 20th century census that Peter/Ellen Delaney lived in Milwaukee with children (James, Thomas and Ana). I am assuming that Ana is Anastacia.

      John Robert Delaney was the son of John Michael and Katherine (Burke) Delaney. He married Mildred Martin. He is buried near Valley Forge, PA.
      Their son was James Edward Delaney (now Manfred Heidorn). James (apparently divorced) has a daughter named Patricia Heidorn who lived in Bremen, Germany.
