Genealogy of the Gray - Lynch Family of Erie, Pennsylvania
This genealogy page is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Mary E. Gray. She had a wonderful mind and remembered many small details about her family that proved to be an invaluable asset in the research presented here. With luck, a lot of time on the internet, and lots of help from librarians in New York and Pennsylvania, I was able to provide my mother with answers to most of her questions. However, I have lots of notes and photos that she left me with questions like "Who is Edith?" written on them that I am still trying to solve.
As I developed this database of my family, I relied on many sources. The most significant source for my father's family is the Old Fulton NY Post Cards site (http://www.fultonhistory.com). My father's family lived in Oswego, New York for many decades (and generations) and the newspaper search capability at fultonhistory.com provided detailed history on almost all of my relatives who lived there.
The Family History and Find a Grave sites have proved to be extremely useful resources for other portions of my family. As my mother's great grandparents and two of her grandparents were born in Ireland, I have made use of the Roots Ireland, National Library of Ireland, and the National Archives of Ireland sites when researching her family.
I welcome any comments or suggestions you might have to make this family history more complete or accurate. Thanks for your interest.
