Hi, Ruth. It's been years since we've connected, but I'm always and always still looking for information about my great-grandfather, Joseph Carnahan, who would be your great-uncle. My Joseph was born about 1834 and was married to Caroline Shaffer (her parents were George Washington Shaffer and a Magdalena ??? - I have that information elsewhere - have to check). I believe that Joseph is the son of Samuel Carnahan, and I believe that Samuel was born in Armaugh, Ireland. Joseph and Caroline actually had 3 daughers: Agnes, Etta and Ida. Ida was my grandmother, married to Arthur David Elder. She was the mother of my dad, Victor Blue Elder. Caroline, Joseph, and their daughters lived in or near Johnstown, PA, at about 1890; my grandmother used to say that they "survived the Johnston, PA Flood of 1890. They show up in the 1880 census, but not 1890. In the late 1800's (maybe about 1895 or so, the family was apparently in Kansas - town of Hope, I think - because I found an engagement announcement for Agnes that was in the newspaper from there. It mentioned that her father, Joseph, was in construction, I think. Then by 1900, Caroline and the daughters Agnes (married to Joseph Benjamin Burwell) and my grandfather Ida were in Oklahoma City. Caroline was listed in the census as widow of Joseph Carnahan. She then died in 1907 in Okla City. I can not find anything more about Joseph Carnahan. Don't know where he died or where he was buried. Ugh. Been looking for him for many years now. How are things with you? Any wonderful new news about those Carnahan folks?
