I haven't been finding much lately, but the other day I was following the Shaky Leaves on Ancestry and came upon a Find A Grave for my great grandmother's (Bridget Naughton Dowd) sister, Margaret Naughton Stanton.
A descendant of hers had transcribed her obituary to the site; and behold, it mentioned a surviving sister Mrs. John Connolly (Nora). There were a few Connolly men married with a wife named Nora in Allegheny County and I was quite excited to find her husband was John. That bit of information had been a mystery for about two years.
I found a few census and the name of some of their children, the interesting thing was when I searched for their addresses I found they live close to each on adjacent streets. I was very excited, as with many of my other ancestors, Margaret's house is now a vacant lot. Now I will have to search the church records and see what else I can find ab out the sisters that I do not know.
