<\/a><\/p>\nFrom Ancestry ThruLines for my daughter:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This shows a DNA connection between children of Bridget Warren and John J\u00a0 Warren.<\/p>\n Here is a Warren DNA Tree I built in 2020:<\/p>\n Mary is a new DNA match to the tree since 2020.<\/p>\n Ancestry suggest that I evaluate Mary’s tree. Here is what Mary has:<\/p>\n I only need connect Mary back to Francis J. Sullivan. Here is the family in 1910:<\/p>\n Here are the children I already had for Frank J. Sullivan:<\/p>\n Notice this is the same family due to Blanche, Henry and Russell Sullivan. That means that Douglas Sullivan must be George Douglas Sullivan, the great-grandfather of Mary. The Roman Catholic records show Douglas’ full name:<\/p>\n The Massachusetts records only have him as Douglas:<\/p>\n Next, we need the connection from Douglas to Mary’s grandfather.<\/p>\n Frank passes away in 1917:<\/p>\n George is a single truck driver for the City of Lowell in 1930:<\/p>\n Here is Mary’s grandfather Jerry in 1950:<\/p>\n Jerold appears to have been in the Navy:<\/p>\n Here, I have added Mary to my Warren DNA Tree:<\/p>\n All the DNA connection is important as there is some confusion between two John Cavanaughs in Lowell. I previously set out the genealogy of my children in this 2019 Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n This John was born in 1880 to John Warren and Louisa Kavanaugh:<\/p>\n As stated in the Roman Catholic record, he was illegitimate. This John went by John Warren sometimes and John Cavanaugh at other times. Here is his marriage record:<\/p>\n Despite going by John Cavanaugh, he chooses to use his birth name at the time of his marriage in 1911.<\/p>\n The mistaken John Cavanaugh was born about 10 years earlier than my children’s’ John.<\/p>\n The people in this neighborhood of Lowell worked in a bleachery.<\/p>\n Confusingly, the two Johns were also half brothers according to my research:<\/p>\n The chronology is that Louisa Gatley marries Michael Cavanaugh. They have two children, but Michael dies in 1872. Louisa then has a child with widower John Warren who already has a family. John Warren drowns two years later. Massachusetts records list John’s death as ‘accidental drowning’. However, he had two half siblings who were Cavanaughs.<\/p>\n So far, Mary has supported my genealogy showing that my children’s great-grandfather was actually a Warren and not a Cavanaugh. Eileen is Heather’s closest match for the Jeremiah Warren ThruLines:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nAdding Mary to My Tree?<\/h2>\n
