Ah, summer at the beach in Southern California — sunshine, surf, bicycle rides, afternoon breezes |
|
(push the smog inland), long walks on our world-famous pier, and beach volleyball, which even made |
|
it to the Olympics this year in Atlanta. Amidst all the summer activities, and an overtime schedule at |
|
work, it’s been tough to get any research done, and there are no significant break-throughs to report. |
|
|
|
As planned, Jan and I did travel through western Pennsylvania and upstate New York in late May. |
|
Her Mauk line came from Bedford, Pennsylvania, through Clarion County, and then west to Oklahoma. |
|
We also stopped at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, and then up the Allegheny River to Kittanning, |
|
the county seat of Armstrong County, and made copies of all the McAninch records at the Court House. |
|
Went north to the St. Lawrence River and Thousand Islands for Memorial Day weekend, to visit son |
|
Kevin, at Fort Drum, Watertown, New York, including a pleasant day-trip to visit Kingston, Ontario. |
|
|
|
Later, a brief trip to Chicago gave me the opportunity to see Lillian again, and we spent a Saturday |
|
reading and researching at the Newberry Library downtown. They have an extensive collection of Irish |
|
sources, and I read as much County Antrim material as possible in one day. After reading about the |
|
Scottish Clans, and the extensive travel across the narrow strait, I believe that our ancestors lived near |
|
Coleraine, in the River Bann valley, and on the north coast of Antrim, but not in the Glynns of Antrim. |
|
|
|
Also, we’ve (re-) joined the electronic age, and are now on-line again, through AT&T Worldnet, on |
|
the Internet at “FrankMac@worldnet.att.net” (POPserver “postoffice.worldnet.att.net” if you need that). |
|
“FrankMac” is an old office nickname, to distinguish me from other Franks in the same company, and |
|
“Mac” pre-conditions people to pronounce the surname correctly, even though we spell it “Mc”. In any |
|
case, we’d love to hear from you, please keep those cards, letters, and e-mail coming. |
