Hi Bo, I came across your post a few weeks back on PA Census Finder in regards to my grandfather & Ggrandfather – John & James Delmore. In the interim my (half) second cousins steered me your way (which I met while doing research over the internet on my dad’s family history.. ) Their grandmother was Catherine Maher – my Ggrandmother was Delia McMahon – John’s 1st wife, so they had not done too much research on Delia. I just wanted to thank you for the extensive research you have done & to shed some light on my extended family for myself & to pass on to my children. It is a small world…… I am now in the process of getting more info on my grandmother - Ethel Cooper. I appreciate all your hard work & enjoyed the free time I have to look up how we fit into the Hagen/Adkins family.
Much regards, Michelle (Delmore) Geiger Bethlehem, PA
