Glad to hear that you found information about this Jane. Galvin and Calvin were
frequently miswritten or misspelled on census records: I suppose it was whatever the
enumerator heard, especially if the individual being recorded couldn't spell.
No, I have no records on the Galvins. I'm concentrating on the Calvin records I can
find in the US and in Northern Ireland. Most of the people I've linked are from the
Coleraine area; County Londonderry, and over into Antrim. My Calvin ancestors are rather
relatively recent immigrants to North America, coming to New Brunswick, Canada, in 1863
and two generations later to the US in the early 1920s.
One or two of that generation went into PA, in Philadelphia and Williamsport areas so I
keep an eye out for any PA connections.
Good luck in all your searches,
Lynn Calvin
