I have an old photograph of Nora J. LEAHY which was taken by F. B. Short of Honeoye, NY. The photograph indicates that Nora is just 10 months old at the time the photograph was taken. The name Lena is also written on the back of the photograph as if this is the person to whom the photograph was gifted originally. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Nora and her family: Nora J. LEAHY was b. 16 Sept 1902 in Honeoye, NY to parents Richard G. LEAHY or LAHEY (1871-1958) and Alice Mary FLOOD (1877-1957). Nora was one of 5 children born to this couple including Nora J.; Ethel; George F.; John Leslie; and Carl E. LEAHY, all born between 1902 and 1915. Nora married William KELLY (1895-1961) and she died 29 Dec 1995 in Lima, NY. I am hoping to get this photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be. Thanks, Shelley

Do You Have Famous Ancestors?
Do you have famous ancestors? Diane and I would love for you to share your information with this group. To make this easier we are suspending the rule of only discussing members of your direct line. If you are a Smith but your famous ancestor is a Jones that is OK for this discussion. We want you to feel free to join in and let us all enjoy some interesting stories. Who will be first? Jim and Diane

Saying Thanks To Our Front-Line Workers
First of all, To all of you who are involved in the "front lines" of this corona virus war - Thank You for all you are doing. Without you we would be in dire straits. Secondly, Diane and I thought it would be a good thing to share what is happening in your locations as far as showing appreciation to everyone involved in fighting the spread of this horrendous pandemic that has plagued the world. Please feel free to share what your community is doing in that regard. We have all seen the firefighters gathered to applaud the health workers. Diane says that she and her neighbors stand outside their doors and clap for the health workers. She suggests singing (to the tune of "Happy Birthday") the following: Thank you very much, Thank you very much, Thank you front line workers, Thank you very much. What ideas do you have? What have you witnessed in your communities? We are together in this and shall come out of it stronger. Jim "Pops" Jackson and Diane Sowden

Welcome to the Lahey Group
2
Welcome to 开云体育, our new home for genealogical discussions. This is an exciting time with a very impressive website and the opportunity to rekindle our communications and, perhaps, revive research that has been set aside for a time. Diane and I want to encourage you to make us of this group with your brick walls, successes, questions and whatever answers you may have for others' queries. To begin with, introductions are encouraged, including some history about yourself etc. If we can feel like a "family" we might get more out of being here. We definitely do not want to make this such a strict environment that you are discouraged from entering or starting discussions. We want you to enjoy being a part of this group and be glad you joined in the first place. If you have other group connections where you may spread the word about us that will be great as well. Looking forward to hearing from you all, Jim "Pops" Jackson and Diane Sowden
