To help you connect to my RYANS.

My Great Grandfather was William J RYAN born 1868 from the
Mahanoy City area of PA. His parents are both from Ireland as shown on
the 1900 Phila Census. In 1900 he is shown living in Phila with his
wife's family and his own family. I have not found out when they all
moved to Phila , but I assume it was shortly after 1890.
I have a recreated baptismal certificate from St Canicus Church in
Mahanoy City for Oct 16 1868 for William RYAN born
on Oct 12 1868. Father listed as James Ryan. Mother's maiden name
Margaret Curry. By Reverend Michael McEvoy. Sponsors Michael Lonergan
and Margaret Carr. I have not found any other information about them
upstate before the Phila move. William RYAN became a doctor in Phila
sometime after 1910 probably graduating from Temple Med School.>
My Great Grandmother was Mary Theresa POPPERT (married RYAN) born 1870
probably from the Girardville or Shenendoaha area of PA. Her parents
were Valentine POPPERT (formerly Von POPPERT) born 1838 in Germany and
Winifried POPPERT (maiden name unknown) born 1838 in Ireland. The Phila
addresses that I have found on the census records are:

1900 Valentine POPPERT and family living at 3513 Market St

1910 Wm J RYAN sr and family living at 5145 Westminster Ave

1920 Wm J RYAN sr and family living at 703 55th St

1920 Wm J RYAN jr living at 5522 Osage Ave

If this connects with anybody please let me know. I am trying to make the
link
from 1900 back thru 1890 and 1880 but I understand that this is hard
because of
missing census records.

Sincerely
James R RYAN
