Great Grandmother Ellen (born in Malin Head, Ireland 1867) and Great Grandfather Anthony Joseph (born in Donegal, Ireland 1855) with daughter Catherine Agnes "Katie" (born in Henry Clay, Delaware 1898). Anthony & Ellen were married in 1883 (she was 16 and just "off the boat") and had 11 children (Katie was their 6th). Their last born, a son named John Edward, was my Grandfather.
If anyone remembers the coins I posted about previously http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/9447-pair-of-1889-liberty-head-v-nickels-with?in=user this is the family. Edward was the 8th child born.
I remember the coins you posted..... they intrigued me. Love the history!
