I am looking for a Margaret Crow who married a Joseph Mussario Martha Dowling who married Robert Vranesic Dorothy Dowling who married Boris Sencenko and Madeline Dowling who married Homer Ellis Margaret Crow is the Aunt of the three Girls any desendants of these would be great as they are the decendants of my great great aunt Julia Crow ( Nee Reid ) I have searched ancestry and cant find nothing for them apart from a mention in the obituary for Margarets Sister Martha Dowling ( Nee Crow )

Have you tried googling the names also and searching under surnames on genforum, to find outher researching them? Do you you need them in census records? Dates would help for that.

I tried looking in the 1930s census for Martha Crow and her parents Robert & Julia Crow also her two sisters Margaret ( Peggy ) and Julia but couldnt find them their father first came to america in 1923 from Scotland and went to live with a cousin Gordon Reid in Joliet the Girls and their mother followed in 1925 to Joliet I can find them on the sailing list but cant find them on the census I know Robert died in Joliet about 1949 but Im wondering if maybe Julia (Mother) was home here at the time of the census as thats around the time her father my great great grandfather died and she did make frequent visits back home I think all her kids social security nos were issued in Illinois is Wilmington,Palm Bay,Diamond and Elwood all in Illinois I know Shorewood is also I think Morris is I can find Peggys Husband Joseph Mussario as Marthas daughter Helen Dewalt died in 2007 I have her obit but her sister Martha Vranesic isnt mentioned only her two surviving sisters and the obit I found in the Long Beach Press-Telegram (CA) aug 2006 for Julia Panek I cant access to have a look at and as I dont live in the US I cant go to the library to look at back issues

If you google for the library there and email them, they might send it to you free of charge. Even if there is a charge, it is minimal. I am awaiting an obit right now from a library that cost me $3. It's very frustrating when you can't find family in census, and you know someone has got to be around. Another option is to try www.raogk.org for the obit.
Does the obit you have that mentions the two surviving sisters give you enough to go on to try to locate them. I have been very lucky with that kind of info.

General enquiries about how to search are welcome - and you can reply by PM if you can help Helen with specific information, Thanks

If you go to newslibrary.com and search under "Panek Julia" (in quotes & in that order), the obit for Julia comes up. You can buy the full article, but it doesn't look like it's much longer than what's already shown. There's only the names of immediate survivors and not much more detail than that.

Helen,
Your email address was removed due to website policy. I need to make 3 postings and then use the PM feature. Well at least we are on our way to getting all our facts together. My mother (Dorothy Dowling) is the daughter of Martha Dowling. My moms sisters are Madeline, Martha & Helen who recently passed away. I love my Scottish roots and am very proud to be Scottish. I want to come to Scotland and bring my mom in the near future.
Sincerely yours,
Gary J.Johnston

Gary, was your father James Herbert Johnston, son of Robert and Mercy? If so, I'd like to be in touch with you. We are McCormack cousins.
