My great-grandfather, Tom Gleason, was born in Ireland and lived in Kansas City, Missouri where he ran a saloon. His daughter Mary Ellen was may grandmother. She was called Nellie even though her given name was Mary Ellen. Nellie Gleason married Henry J. Banfield October 2, 1912 and had seven children including:
Alfred Thomas Banfield, my father Henry Banfield Jack Banfield Frank Banfield Margaret Mary Banfield Tom Banfield James (I think that was his name, he died as a child so I don't remember him)
I know I am related to Planks and McIlvains. How are you related? My brother Alfred has researched and compiled more family history
