Only through great-aunt's marriage. My father and Jusenovitch's were cousins. I actually met one in graduate school and we were related...I plan to go through my alumni association and see if I can find him...he would probably have been in Seattle..and was a coach or high school teacher of some kind. I am not positive it was Tacoma...they did move to Seattle some time after my grandfather died of Spanish flu and lived near Immaculate Conception Church in Cherry Hill (near Providence Hospital) in seattle, probably on about 19th ave or so..I ended up buying a house right nearby. I think my second cousin (is that what he was) had a sister if I remember correctly.

I found the census records on my grandmother's family..Devery..her name was Ella as you said..her mother's name was Eliza..she was the one who emigrated from Ireland all by herself at the age of 7 or so during the potato famine..at least I think that is the one..the Taft family was involved..the ones with the famous political people...one was in love with her but I think she married a railroad worker. I can understand how a young girl made it here by herself..but how did she get to Iowa????? She must have gone into service right away as a maid..or maybe landed in an orphanage...gee..I wonder if any were on the orphan trains...

Fascinating.. mg
