54 Godfrey Kummerer owned farm land in Warren Township, Trumbell County, Ohio, USA. He is buried in the Lordstown Lutheran Cemetary. Warren, being a Township in this year, might now be the City of Lordstown. We do know that he was born in Wuttemberg, Germany in the year 1820. His parents are unknown at this time, but I'm in the process now of trying to get this info through the marriage records (if they were married in OH). Richie, my Ohio cousin, had an uncle-in-law who says that he found Godfrey on the ships manifestation showing that Godfrey came here with a wife, 3 children and a trunk. This is incorrect. The names of Daniel, Percilla, Samuel and Lottie had been given to me as a teen-ager when I began asking questions of the family history. Over the years, it has been supported by the census rolls, but showing that Percilla, not Daniel, was the eldest as I had recorded the children by eldest to youngest as my grandma had told me. Alas, this is the year 1996 that I have this wonderful program to get all of the data that I retain knowledge and written geneology records of onto, and grandma passed away on Christmas Eve 1975. I have just supported more evidence of this fact - see Eva's notes.

Godfrey did marry Eva Barbara Boulder born in Saxe-Corburg (Saxony), Germany on December 10, 1836 and died in Warren, Trumbell County, Ohio, USA on May 16, 1926. She is buried at Oakwood Cemetary in Warren.

Godfrey was 16 years older than Eva. Was there possibly another marriage?

Census rolls: 1860 M-653 Reel 1040. 1870: M-593 Reel 1272. 1880: T-9 Reel 1070. 1900.

I have today recieved info from the Rev. Dr. Johnny Bell, Paster of the Lordstown Church having helped me with the research on Godfrey. The death record of Godfrey show that he was 59 years and 15 days old at the time of his death. Making his birth date at December 30, 1820? November 30, 1820? He died of Epilepsy December 15, 1879. He was 59 years, 15 days old. I also have received extensive info from William and Betty Dunbar at Oakwood cemetary on all of the family as to actual birth and death dates, fathers and mother of the deceased that I did not have. I thank them for their help.

Trying to make sure that I have all notes on everyone is delaying me getting all of the info to the Family World Maker that I have on the family, so I am going to stop making all of my notes and sources complete. All of my research has been verified through family records, birth certificates, death certificates, census rolls, cemetary records, church records, marriage records. I am going to record everything that I have todate, send it in the the Family World Maker and then go back and record my sources and notes. My off/on again reseach has taken me over 40 years of questions of the Maskelis, Kendanis, Kummerer, Sullivan, etc families.

I have just verified this more as the 1900 census (Roll #1039-91) states Eva as having come to America in the year 1854, having been here for 46 years.

57 had seven kids, only Robert Allen Pierce is known at this time Ophelia (I400183716685)
 
58 I do not know really anything much about John Hoag. I do know from the 1900 and 1910 census rolls (T623 Reel 1325 and T624 Reel 1235} that he was a laborer at the Boiler Works. He was born in Ohio and his parents were both born in Scotland. They lived at 206 Highland, Warren, Trumbell County, OH, USA.

They had one son, Peter Earl, who eventually became the bookkeeper for the Draging Co. A company formed by John "Henry" Bock and Daniel Komray.

There are also more Hoag's buried at Oakwood, but I do not know where to put them in relationship to John.

62 It was in 19th century Ireland that Michael Coyne, Honora Joyce and their families were born and raised. To better understand their lives, it is necessary to know something of the time in which they lived.

To prevent the Irish from repossessing their lands or enabling themselves through education or political activity to challenge British rue, the English enacted a series of laws aimed against the Catholics. The Penal Laws were in effect for over a hundred years, but were enforced with varying degrees of severity and were eventually phased out.

Catholics were excluded from voting until 1829 and could not hold office. Owning
firearms or a horse worth more than a few dollars were forbidden. Teaching, going to university or going abroad to be educated were also illegal. Teh receive an education, Catholic youths attended "Hedge Schools" taught by "Hedge Teachers". Classes were held out of doors in isolated places while watch was kept for strangers and the authorities. By mid-century, national schools were being established, but classes ere taught only in English. (At one time it was illegal to even speak Gaelic).

Until 1869, when the Catholic and Presbyterian Churchs were legally recognised by England. Mass was forbidden and priests were often hunted. People still managed to gather at 'mass rocks' in remote fields or caves to hear Mass while others watched for the authorities. One such rock was located in a field in Seeauns. If caught, all present could be tortured or killed. There was also the problem of 'jumpers', people who would attend Mass only to disrupt the proceedings.

Most land was owned by Protestants, many of whom were absentee landlords who rented to Catholic tenants. There were all sorts of problems with unfair rents, short term leases, evictions and rent collectors. It was not until this century that the land problems were finally resolved.

By 1841, Ireland's population of over eight million made it the most densely populated country in Europe. Life was difficult. There was wide-spread unemployment, poverty, overcrowding and a shortage of farmland. Most farms in Connemarra were under five acres, barely enough to support a family and to pay the rent.

Famines occured periodically, the the Great Famine of 1845-47 had a lasting impact on the Irish people. It is estimated that a million people died of starvation and another million emigrated. Mass evictions took place. The pattern of young people emigrating for jobs and opportunity begain after the Famine and continues to this day.

Prior to this time, early marriages were common, afterwards, marrying later in life became the norm. Ireland's population is now about half of what it had been in the early 1840s.

Another major result of the Famine was the elimination of the Irish language along with its legends and stories in favor of English. Gaelic was all but forgotten except in a few isolated areas of Connemarra. It was not until the end of the century that there was a serious attempt to revive the language and its many legends.

As you will see, the lives of the Joyces and Coynes relected the time in which they lived.

One well known 'cousin' we cannot overlook is Adolphe Menjou, a film star of the 1930 and 40s. Born in Pittsburgh, his mother was Nora Joyce who was originally from Ungwee. (Her photo appears in the second edition of PITTSBURGH; THE STORY OF AN AMERICAN CITY by Stefan Lorant). His father Henry Menjou owned a restaurant in the Hill District where relatives would work as they arrived from Ireland.

While everyone remembers being told Adolphe was a cousin, no one knew how he was related. Based on a few clues from letters, my guess would be the Nora Menjou's father, Patrick Joyce, may have been a brother of our Peter Joyce, making Nora and Honora first cousins. Coynes were also supposed to be related by marriage to Nora's mother Mary Faherty. Michael Coyne's sister married a Faherty

There is lots more credit to be given to Debby, but I have so many other things to record that I must get on with my own research.

This documentation was written by Debby Rabold of Pittsburgh, PA. And all info on the early descendants of Michael Coyne and Honora Joyce are also her credits.

64 John Maskelis, my grandfather. Records are mostly from family. I do have the
marriage certificate (copy) from St. Casimer's Church, Pittston, PA. The church
has been closed down and all of the records have been sent over to the church
in Wyoming. I have lots of more records thru this church for the family and I have updated the church with what records that I have. I know their exact where-a-bouts in the year 1910, but am unable to located them on the cencus
rolls. They were still in Luzerne County, PA in that year. It was a few years
later that grandpa and Edward (his eldest son) came to Michigan to investigate
the automobile factory that Henry Ford had built to make cars. Grandpa wanted
to get his sons out of the coal mining industry. Grandpa liked what he saw here
and went back to get his family to move here (MI). They lived on Olivet Street in
Detroit until they bought their home on Norman. Grandpa is buried at Woodmere
Cemetary, Detroit, MI, Lot #112, Section Oak Ridge. Grandpa is also listed as John Maskialis in the Plat Book Records.

Mays, Marinda (I400183716682)
 
68 Moving to Lexington, MI in the spring of 1837 (the year that MI became a state) and settling on a homestead two mile north and two miles west and building a log house on N>E> corner of what is now Roach Road and Wixon Road.

Daphne's brother Ruebin Wright (born 1801) and his wife arrived at the same time and settle on the land adjoining them to the north.

Joseph and Daphine died in 1855 from the effects of fighting a big forest fire that swept through there that summer. Daphne's brother Rubin also lost his wife and child in the fire. He lived with Trueman E. and Susan Cummings until his death in 1890.

Joseph and Daphine are buried in the old Long Cemetary. Rubin is buried in the old Lexington cemetary.

69 My great-grandfather. I have the village and town where he was born thru my
verbal family contact, usually Tony Maskelis from Toronto. Joseph had five
children. I'm guessing at his birth date by the ages of the children. I'm also
guessing that he was a farmer as most of the family was in Lithuania. These
facts I know because Tony was still a young boy living there before they immagrated to Toronto and he remembers running across the farm lands to visit
with our relatives.

I have just recently located another Maskelis family in New Britian, CT, but cannot connect them as yet into how they work into the family. I have lost contact with Tony, so he cannot help me. I'm trying to find out if he has passed away or in a convalesent home in Toronto.

This other family consists, so far, of Peter Maskelis, son of John Maskelis and Catherine Petalutas, all born in Lithuania. Peter, born February 2, 1887 and died October 11, 1952. Married Genevieve (Milius, Milutas) born January 3, 1887 (Lithuania) and died April 25, 1972. They had two children (known only as of this date, 10\1996) Edward V. Maskelis (most probably Victor) born July 28, 1921? (at his death July 11, 1969 he was 47 years 11 months and 14 days old). He was born in New Britian, CT. Aldona Maskelis born June 11, 1920 in New Britian, CT and died June 25, 1963 in New Britian, CT. I have all the death certificates and the cemetary records for these for people.
