Mary, My name Mary Ellen Cuevas, maiden name was Mary Ellen McGinnis, daughter of Donald
McGinnis born in Honesdale, Pa 1913, son of Ellen and Larry McGinnis. Ellen maiden name
was Ellen(Nellie) Cavanaugh born in Honesdale Pa 1882. So I would say that makes us
cousins 2nd or 3rd. I have just got into genealogy. Turned 65yrs, and was retired so
have some knodledge of my family. Was born in Honesdale 1939, family moved to Sidney, NY,
father worked at Bendix's for 35yrs. Only child, both parents have passed away. When
my father got sick wanted to know more about my relatives, my mother said don't ask
your father he will think he is dying. So remember some things my daddy told me as a
small child. Have been to St Johns Cem. Have visited the grave sites since I was a small
child, just down there a few weeks ago. Found James and Mary Cavanaugh grave site as well
as Mary Cavanaugh, my Grandma Ellen McGinnis sister as well as your Grandma Elizabeth.
