Hi there

Quinndaughter hasn't been online since July 2012 but as long as she hasn't changed her email address she will be notified of this posting and hopefully will come back online.

Apologies if this has been asked a million times, but if you PM someone, does it get forwarded to their email account?  I found someone who could be related to me and would LOVE to contact her, but she hasn't logged in since 2012.

My mother said that Margaret Trainor and Peter Quinn were her great grandparents.  John Quinn was her grandfather.  She'll share more tomorrow, but I would love to get in touch with you and share some clippings and information.  How are you related?

Hello!  QuinnDaughter.  I hope you're still receiving information about posts to this board.  My name is Colleen Clark.  John Quinn is an ancestor of my family and i think I can share quite a bit with you.  I need to talk to my mom to get my facts straight but I'm linking to a photo of him.  More to come.  I can't message you until I've posted 2 more times, but intend to do everything I can to get in touch.

Thank you so much!  I will make this my task for the day. (;

Just to give all this historical exploration a human face, below is a link with a photo of Peter Quinn's son, John Quinn, who emigrated to NY and worked as a zoo-keeper at the Bronx Zoo during the 1920s and 30s.  He died from a zebra bite that went septic.

(I tried to attach the photo, but it was too big.)

Best
