Kavanagh / Myers / Conklin / Biehl familes
Posted by: Kelly Jane O'Hara (ID *****5501) Date: August 10, 2008 at 07:31:12

There was a witness at my grandmother's wedding named Katherine KAVANAGH. I am trying to track her family down because I think they are related to us in some way. My grandmother was Catherine Smith b 1885 in Newtown, Queens married in 1908 In Rockland Co, NY and died in 1949 in Rockland Co, NY. Her parents were Wells Lott SMITH and Ida May MYERS and they were from Queens / Brooklyn area.
Ida May Myers parents were Jacob Storms MYERS and Catharine J. FLOCKER.

I found a marriage certificate for a Kate E. MYERS & a John KAVANAGH in Kings Co. dated 22 Dec 1878 so I am assuming they or one of them was from Kings Co. Who were Kate / Katherine / Catharine MYERS parents ?

1900 Census / NY / Kings / Brooklyn / East 92nd St

Kavanach, John / 48 / b June 1851 ( all b. NY)
Catharine / 38 / Nov 1861

Catharine / 15 / Sept 1884
Jusina C / 12 / Jan 1888

** I found a death cert for a David S. Kavanagh who died age 21 on 14 Sept 1903 in Kings Co.

1920 Census / NY / Rockland Co / Spring Valley / S. Main St

Walters, Edward / head / 30

Conklin, Jestina / sister-in-law / 28
Herbert / bro-in-law / 29
Alberta / neice / 5
Kavanagh, Katherine E. / mother-in-law / 50 (should read 60) / widowed
**so we know John Kavanagh died between 1910-1920.

1930 Census / NY / Kings Co / Brooklyn / Putnam Ave

Conklin, Herbert / 39 / m age 20
Jestina / 39
Alberta / 16

I found a marriage certificate for an Alberta M. CONKLIN & a William E. BIEHL dated 1 Apr 1936 in Kings Co, NY. I found a William E. BIEHL on the soc sec death index b 1913 died Mar 1994 In Pompano Beach, FL.

Do any of these people sound familiar to anyone?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
