Hi Elbert,
We exchanged some Carney info in the past on Samuel living next door to
Elizabeth Laughlin 1880 Census Union twp, Washington Co. George Carney of
Homestead is interesting as Elizabeth Carney Laughlin had a daughter, Mary
Ann Laughlin Furlong, living in Homestead. The 1900 Census says William H.
Furlong and Mary, his wife were living on 8th Ave. Homestead, Allegheny Co.
I know a lot of people lived in Union Twp. and Homestead so this could just
be a one of those things but then again there could be a connection. I
would be interested in what you learn.
Thanks,
Lona Laughlin Boudreaux

I'm hoping someone can inform me what George was doing in Clay
County, IL
or why. October 1908 he was residing in Mifflin Township, Allegheny
County,
PA with his wife Sadie.
