Morrow<\/h2>\n
As I look at my daughter Heather’s ThruLines, I see this:<\/p>\n
That is not very encouraging as it is such a small match. I can try clusters based on Erica, but many of these clusters work on a 20 cM match and Erica only matches by 12 cM. I’ll try to cluster on Erica anyway.<\/p>\n This results in 2 clusters. Not bad.<\/p>\n Therese is probably Erica’s niece. Therese has a larger match to Heather, but no tree.<\/p>\n Going back to the larger cluster, it seems everyone is related:<\/p>\n It seems like there are a lot of holes in this side of the tree:<\/p>\n So perhaps I need the genealogy to find more matches and more matches to support the genealogy. At this point, I am skeptical concerning Mary A Cassion’s surname. I did a surname search under Heather’s DNA match names and got no results.<\/p>\n The 1880 Census for Lowell seems significant:<\/p>\n Here older brother Dennis Morrow has married Sarah Whalen. But where are Dennis’ parents? He is now the head of the househould with his two younger brothers and a brother-in-law. If I can find the birth record for any of these three brothers, I should have the names of the parents.<\/p>\n I was able to find the Roman Catholic record for Dennis’ marriage:<\/p>\n Both witnesses are on the Whalen side.<\/p>\n Apparently Dennis remarries in 1916:<\/p>\n Here we have the mother of Dennis:<\/p>\n My best reading is Mary A Casson. At any rate, she dies in 1876. Her husband dies in 1879. That explains the 1880 Census above.<\/p>\n I asked Google if Morrow is a French Canadian name:<\/p>\n I find it frustrating that I am not able to find this family in Quebec. According to Dennis, he was born in Quebec:<\/p>\n Here is his brother Joseph:<\/p>\n The death record for Joseph in Providence gives some more information:<\/p>\n Here we have his middle name and a different name for his mother. Also, this indicates that his mother was from Ireland. Here the mother’s name is given as Rose Cassin from what I can tell. Another interesting thing is that Joseph dies of gas poison “probably” accidentaly. The informant is his daughter Nellie Glancy. This death record appears to contradict some of the other records concerning Mary or Rose Cassin.<\/p>\n Here is a stone from St. Patrick’s Cemetery in Lowell, MA:<\/p>\n While looking through Naturalization papers I found a different Joseph Morrow who was naturalized in Maine but from New Brunswick;<\/p>\n This is a possible hint to his last name.<\/p>\n MK on the Heather’s cluster above has a tree with a little over 70,000 people. Here is one branch of his tree:<\/p>\n There is even a Jean- Baptiste in the line. I suspect that Joseph Frederick’s father was a Jean-Baptiste (John B.). Here is Louis from MK’s tree:<\/p>\n Here is another tree for Louis at Ancestry:<\/p>\n Actually, this is a Joseph born around the time I was looking for a John B.<\/p>\n Another thing is, that this match with Erica could be on the Tessier side:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nMorrow Genealogy<\/h2>\n
