I am not sure these are the same Canavan's and I am just beginning my search for my
Grandmother's family, but my Grandmother was Mary Z. Canavan and I know she had a
brother named Pete because my father used to talk about Uncle Pete and I believe there was
a Texas connnection.
My grandmother Mary Z. Canavan married Jacob J. Pfeifer and they lived in Brooklyn, where
my Grandfather was born. Since I don't know much yet about my grandmother's
parents, and I thought she was born in PA, I'm not sure this is the same. I believe my
grandparent's were married in 1919 in Brooklyn. My Grandmother Mary Z. was born in
1899 and I think her birthday was October but I haven't found those papers yet. Does
this sound right to you? Are you interested in more information? If so, I can try to
find out more.
