Hi, Glen

Not that I know of.

The only unusall name I have encountered is Carradog. Mary had a son named
Thomas Carradog Jenkins. I would guess that this would relate to G-parents,
maybe Mary's Mother's family.

I have tried to obtain Immigration/Naturalization Papers from the GRSNP but
there are 6+ David Jenkins in Lackawanna County PA listed and no way to
narrow that search down. The Search Fees would be more than I can afford
and I now live in Maine, 500 miles away. The Imm. Papers offer very little
info anyway.

My Mom is 85 yrs old and not in good health. She was very close to her
G-mother Mary and has always wanted to know where they were from. Those
sorts of things were not discussed in those days, particularly with
children. Because my Mom shared family info with me as a child, I have
loved Genealogy ever since.

Hope this helps, Elaine
