Hi Pat,
Good to hear from you, and Dora sends her fond regards. Dora said she does not know why the family changed their name to align with Grannies, she believes the original was a spelling mistake:that is theory only. She has some stuff here that Claudie Halloran sent to her if you would like copies. Apparently Peter and Maureen McCosker had the family bible- I am not sure if it is still with Maureen or whether one of their children now has it. We can find out if you wish. I will ask Laurel (Tony's widow) if she knows why the name change, as she was our early historian.
