Hi Michelle,
The Francis Seifried you seek info about was my grandmother, Catherine Deery Morris, brother in law, married to her sister Stella Deery Seifried
They lived with the sisters widowedAunt Catherine Deery Bishop, aka Mrs Winfield Bishop, in West Chester, PA up until sometme in 1930's.
Francis and Stella, I belive had 7 ? kids who were my motherCatherine Elizabeth Morris McGinley, b. 1925, d. 2005 and her brother, Joseph Albert Morris, b. 1922, d.1980, 1st cousins.
My mother,aka Kay McGinley and Mrs Terence J. McGinley, Sr., raised 6 children living most of her life in Wayne, PA and growing up in West Chester.Mom was closest to her cousin Sally Seifried Duffy, who was a US Navy Wave in WW II and had 8 children with career US Marine, Mike Duffy.
In addtion to Joseph Thomas Seifried sister Sally, who I met with husband Mike in 1964 visit CA El Toro Marine Air Base, he had brothers named Frank, Bill and Jack.It was only recently emailing with my recently discoverd 3rd cousin, Ed Wright, that wewere spell incorrectly the sur name.
I discovered this when I found the guest lst for my Father, Terence J. McGinley, Sr funeral in July 1983.
Among the signaures were Kitty & Frank Seifried, Kay & Bill Seifried and Jack & Peg Seifried.
Now to bring you up to your Ireland family connections,
I refer you all the work down by Edward E.M. Wright.This you will find in the DEERY FAMILY GENEALOGY FORM under John Deery and Rose McElgunn Deery born with their 9 children in Lisnaskea, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland
The imigrated to West Chester, PA withtheir 9 children. Most were married/buried ST Agnes Catholic Cemetery, WC, PA
Ed is connected through Hugh Deery and I through William Deery who was the father of my grandmother Catherine b.1890 d.1976 and her sister Stella b. 1893 d. ? and married to Francis Seifried,Sr.
All the above connects your hsband because he is the GREATGRANDSON OF STELLA DEERY SEIFRIED, GREAT, GREAT GRANDSON OF WILLIAM DEERY AND GREAT,GREAT, GREAT GRANDSON OF JOHN DEERY AND ROSE MCELGUNN DEERY
How about that Cousin!
