I have tried to include photographs of as many relatives as possible from both sides of the family, the Gilroys and the Corbetts. If you see someone missing here and you have a photo of them, please send it to me, identifying who they are and I will include it in my next update. This is not really intended to be a family "history" as such so I have kept anecdotal details to a minimum. I have also tried deliberately to keep this page simple so that it loads quickly. I hope you enjoy the tour! You can write to me at sgilroy@shaw.ca if you have questions about any of these people. Incidentally, after putting all of this together I realized that beyond a couple of generations we know almost nothing about the lives of the relatives listed here. It is sad in a way because we know they led full, interesting and busy lives. Probably everyone should write an autobiography and make certain that it gets passed down the line!
The Gilroy Side Of The Family:
My father, Maxwell Leslie Gilroy. He was born
in Lansing, Michigan, on January 26, 1919
at 1:15 pm. He died in August, 1986. Here is a photo
of Max when he was a child with his brother, Harold Laverne (born July
20, 1914) and his sister, Virginia Josephine (born August 5, 1917). Max
is on the left. Here is a photo of Max when he was
two. As far as we know Harold never married or had children. Here is
a
photo of Harold as a young adult. Apparently
he disappeared sometime during the early 1950s and has not been heard from
since until we discovered recently that he had been living in Los Angeles.
He died there June 2, 2000. This is a photo of Harold
and Max as young men. Unidentified person on left. Max's sister, Virginia,
married a man named Wilmot Walker and they had one child, Gerald (my cousin),
who died recently. Virginia and Wilmot were only married a short time.
Here is a photo of Virginia and Wilmot
around the time that they married and here is one of their only child,
Gerald
taken in 1956. Max and Wilmot had known each other in the army. Virginia
and Wilmot apparently married soon after being introduced by Max. We found
out recently that Wilmot outlived Virginia. He died in San Francisco in
1991. Here is a photo of Max with his father,
Leo Gilroy, in Leo's workshop taken soon after Max got out of the army.
Here is a photo of Max while he was in
the army, stationed in the South Pacific. Here is another photo
also taken while he was in the service. This photo shows Max dressed as
the Wild Man of WildCat Mountain near Mount
Hood in 1946. This is a photo of Max when he
was middle-aged and here is one of him with
my three children.
Maxwell Gilroy's Columns: My father wrote quite a few columns called The Old Dropout for the Arcata Union Newspaper in Arcata, California. Many of the columns include details and anecdotes about his life and his family. I have included some of those on a separate page that you can go to by clicking here.
Leo James Gilroy, Max's father. Leo was born May 23, 1890 in Wexford Township, Michigan. He married Mabel Gambell September 22, 1913 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Leo was 23 years old and Mabel was 17. They had three children, Harold, Maxwell and Virginia. Leo's parents were Paul and Josephine. Josephine's maiden name was Bennet. More about Paul and Josephine later. Here is a photo of the Paul and Josephine Gilroy family home in Michigan. Paul and Josephine are on the left and their three children, Nina, Charley and Leo are on the right. An unidentified male adult is standing. He is probably a relative but we have no record of him at all. He bears a strong family resemblance if you study his face. I suspect that he is a brother of Paul's. Leo is the one standing in between Nina and Charley, who is on the bicycle. Here are some photos of Leo. Leo as a baby. Leo as a child. Leo as I remember him when I was a child. Here is kind of a fuzzy photo of Leo and his daughter (Max's sister) Virginia on the Willamette River. Notice that the dog in the photo is the same one that you see in Leo's workshop with Max. Apparently Leo's two main careers in life were as a streetcar conductor and then later working in a box factory. Leo and Mabel moved their young family to Oregon from Michigan when Maxwell was one year and three months old so that would have been in 1920.
Paul Augustus Gilroy and Josephine Sarah (Bennet) Gilroy, Leo's Parents. We know that Paul was born in Ontario, Canada and that Josephine was born in Michigan on August 28, 1866 and died September 23, 1909 in Copemish, Manistee County, Michigan. It would appear that in different censuses Josephine Bennett is listed as either Josephine, or as Sarah J Bennett, but we are pretty sure it is the same person. Census records show her father to be James Bennett, formerly of New York, and her mother to be Lucinda, also formerly of New York. Children of James and Lucinda that we know of (Josephine's siblings) are Albert, George, Elizabeth, Arthur, Ezra and Beulah. You can look at a census from 1870 with that information. Lucinda, Josephine's mother, was born Lucinda S. Estes on July 28, 1826 in Batavia, Genesee County, New York, to parents Stephen Estes (from Plymouth, Massachusetts) and Lydia Briggs. We believe that Lydia Briggs and Stephen Estes were married on February 28, 1819 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. All we have are the photographs and a bit of information about Paul and his parents. Here is a photo of Leo's father, Paul Augustus Gilroy, taken about 1875 when Paul was a young man. Here is a photo of him when he is older and here is another one. Here is a nice portrait of Josephine (Bennet) Gilroy, probably taken around 1910. Josephine apparently died of asthma when Leo was 17. His father, Paul, remarried, a woman named Ollie. Together they had one child, Albert. Paul's parents were Edward and Sarah Gilroy. As far as I know we do not have any photos of them.
Mabel Emma (Gambell) Gilroy. I am not sure when Mabel was born but I assume it was around 1896. She married Leo in September, 1913. Mabel was Max Gilroy's mother. We have a number of photos of her. Here is a photo of Mabel as a baby and here is one of her when she was a child. Here is another of her when she was a child. This is a portrait of Mabel with a violin, taken when she was a teenager. This is a nice photo of Mabel with Maxwell when he was about six months old. This is a picture of Mabel when she was middle-aged and here is one of her with her son, Harold. This is a really neat photo of Mabel with her classmates. She is in the back row, third from the right. That photo was probably taken around 1899. Mabel died sometime during the 1950s. I have some vague memories of her from when I was a child. Leo outlived her by many years. This is a photo of Mabel, her mother, Daisy, and Daisy's parents, William and Eliza Briggs in front of the family home in Michigan.
James W. and Daisy E. (Briggs) Gambell, Mabel's parents. James' years were 1866-1925. Daisy was born sometime in the mid-1860s. We are not sure when she died. Here is a photo of James, Daisy and Mabel taken in their home in Michigan around 1900. Notice the ornate stove on the left. We are not sure what James did for a living but here is a photo of him with a work crew. James is in the front row, far left. Here is a photo of James as a younger man, playing his violin and here is a photo of him when he was in his thirties. This is a nice portrait of James and Daisy. This is a lovely portrait of Daisy and Mabel when Mabel was young. This is a photo of Daisy when she was much older. This is a photo of Mabel, Daisy's sister (not to be confused with Mabel Gambell, my father's mother).
William Briggs and Eliza (Shear) Briggs, Daisy's parents, Mabel's maternal grandparents. We know nothing about them except what we might learn from their photos. Here is a picture of William and here is one of Eliza. Here is another of Eliza, taken when she was a bit older I suspect. The oldest picture we have from this line of the family is of William Briggs Senior, William Brigg's father, Daisy's grandfather, Mabel's great-grandfather, Maxwell's great-great-grandfather, my great-great-great-grandfather. We do not have any photographs of James Gambell's parents.
Virginia (McCarl) Gilroy, my mother, born in Portland, Oregon February 19, 1919. She died in November, 1972. Here is a photo of her when she was a baby and here is another one. This is a really neat photo of Virginia, with her mother (Frances Dewar) in a touring car of the time, around 1920. This is a photo of Virginia when she was in her late teens. Frances, Virginia's mother died when Virginia was very young so she spent her growing up years in boarding schools and also living with her aunts and uncles in the Dewar home, 123 N.E. Halsey Street, Portland Oregon. Here is a photo of the house. I have vivid memories of playing in that house when I was a child when it was Mildred, Alex, Lucy and Cecilia living there. The house was built around 1900 and was occupied by the Dewar family from 1906 until 1962 when Mildred sold it. Alexander Dewar, my great uncle, is standing in front of the house in the photo. Apparently the family had enjoyed prosperous times earlier in the century. Alexander Malcolm Dewar was involved in the cartage business. The house was located near the river where the business was located.
Alexander Malcolm Dewar and Catherine (Brown) Dewar. We know virtually nothing about them. I really wish that I had asked Aunt Mildred more about that kind of thing while she was still alive. Here is a photo of Catherine (Brown) Dewar's mother, Catherine (Sexton) Brown. Alexander and Catherine had eight children, only two of whom ended up having children of their own. Alexander and Catherine's children were Robert, Alexander, Malcolm, Frances, Betty, Cecilia, Mildred and Lucy. Only Frances (my mother's mother) and Malcolm had families of their own. We have lost touch with Malcolm's family and know very little about them. I do remember my great aunt Mildred speaking of her brother (Malcolm) and his family. If I find out more about them, I will post that information here. Cecilia was a Down's Syndrome child but she lived a lot longer than most of those children do because of the care she received from Mildred. Lucy had mental problems of a different kind. I am not sure if anyone really knows what was wrong with her. Mildred was a school teacher all of her working life and she supported her brother Alex and her sisters, Cecilia and Lucy all of their lives after Betty died. They all lived together in the huge old Victorian style home on Halsey Street in Portland. Here is a lovely photo of Betty Dewar taken in 1897. This is a photo of Frances, my mother's mother in a touring car of the time. Frances is the one on the right. Mildred was a school teacher all of her working life. Here is a photo of her with her class, about 1921. Here is a photo of Mildred, Barbara McCarl, me and my three children when they were young.
Robert (senior) and Frances (Dewar) McCarl. Robert was an immigrant from Scotland. Here is a scanned photo of his naturalization document. His father (also named Robert) immigrated from Scotland with his family when he was 12 years old with his father, mother and nine children. Five of the children died of diptheria during the voyage and were buried at sea. The elder Robert was a blacksmith and then a goldminer in the Klondike. He disappeared there. His son, Robert, my mother's father, earned a degree in law but instead of practicing law he went into business (flour mills). He married a young woman he had known in high school named Frances Dewar. Here is a photo from 1923 of Robert and Frances (left) with their two children, Robert and Virginia (my mother). The couple on the right we are pretty sure is Frances' brother, Malcolm, and his wife. The person in the center, back, is unidentified. Here is a photo of Robert Senior, Robert Junior and Virginia taken about 1921. I have put together a separate web page featuring photos of the Dewars and McCarls, many of my mother when she was young.
Robert (Bob) and Barbara Ann McCarl. Bob McCarl was my uncle, my mother's brother. He married Barbara and they had three children Linda, Robert and Brian, my cousins. The photograph of Brian was taken with our two older children, Aaron and Scotia. Here is a photo of Uncle Bob, Aunt Barb and Aaron, our son and this is one of my cousin, Brian and me. Barbara's maiden name was Baker. Her father's name was F. Caroll Baker and her mother's name was Marjorie (Bloom) Baker. Marjorie later married Jack Langford so her last name changed. Barbara's sister is Carolyn (White) Baker. Carolyn's husband, Theodore Knox White, died tragically of polio while stationed in Germany in the 1950s.
Maxwell Leslie and Virginia (McCarl) Gilroy. My parents met at Reed College where both were students at the time. Here is a photo from their wedding. My parents had three children, me (January 3, 1949), Wendy Lee (February 25, 1950) and Duncan James (November 22, 1952). Here is a photo of me as a baby. Here is one of me in Santa Fe, New Mexico (where Wendy was born). Here is one of Wendy and Me as babies in New Mexico and here is one of us with our mother, Virginia. This is a photo of me when I was about ten years old and here is one of me when I was eighteen. This is a picture of the three of us as children at the walnut farm on Parret Mountain in 1956 with our dog, Princess. Here is a photo of Wendy when she was about nine years old. Here is a photo of Wendy and her family. Wendy married Bob Madar and they have two children, Kurt and Laurel. Laurel is the baby in the photo. That other beautiful child is Scotia Gilroy. This is a picture of Laurel as a young adult. Here is a lovely photo of Wendy, Kurt and Kurt's new wife, Emily, at their wedding. Here is Duncan James Gilroy when he was six years old. Duncan married Barb Scherpelz and they have two children, Megan and Caslin. Duncan died tragically in an auto accident September 13, 2000. I have put together a memorial set of web pages for him, with photos. This picture was taken on the porch at Sawyers Bar. Left to right, Duncan, K.C., Meghan, Caslin, Barb. This is a photo of Wendy with her friend, Duncan Thomas.
Scott David Gilroy and Kathlene Collette (Corbett) Gilroy. K.C. and I married on July 27, 1972. We were married in her parents' back yard in Eureka, California. We have three (wonderful!) children, Aaron McCarl (born January 21, 1973), Scotia Victoria (born November 11, 1975) and Caitlin Pandora (born January 6, 1982). Here is a photo of Aaron and Scotia enjoying a bath together in 1977! Here is one of Caity as an infant. This is one of Caity and her friend, Jeremy, at high school graduation and here is a lovely recent black and white photo of Caity playing the guitar. This is a very nice photo of our three when they were young with their grandfather, Maxwell. Here is one of Scotia as an infant and then one much later with her friend, Soren. This is a photo of Scotia taken in Poland. Th is one of Scotia with her grandmother, Bev, at graduation time. Here is a lovely photo of Aaron and Cori (Park) Gilroy at their wedding reception. And here is the newest little Gilroy, Jaden Duncan Gilroy, born March 6, 2001. Here is a photo of Cori's parents taken at the wedding and here is one of them taken at the baby shower. This is a photo of Jaden at eight weeks, taken on Mother's Day, 2001. We were blessed with a second beautiful grandchild on April 11, 2004. Milo Casimir Gauger was born to Scotia and Soren in Krakow, Poland. K.C. was fortunate enough to be there for the birth but I have not yet had a chance to hold him! Another wonderful gift arrived on August 19, 2004! Talia Paige Gilroy was Aaron and Cori's second child. Here is a photo I like of me holding Talia not long after she was born. Here is a sweet photo of Jaden with his new little sister, just hours after she was born. And here is the whole family celebrating the birth!
The Corbett Side of The Family:
Kathlene Collette (Corbett) Gilroy. K.C. was born
January 22, 1954, in Coral Gables, Florida. Here is a photo of K.C. at
age
three, one when she was seven and here
she
is at seventeen. K.C.'s parents are Victor
Mendell Corbett and Margaret Patricia Mulhall.
Victor and Margaret (she was known as Pat all of her life) were married
only briefly. Pat passed away December 12, 2000. Victor married Beverly
Tewalt and together they had two children, Victor and William. Beverly
had two children from a previous marriage, Ronald and Chad. Starting at
the age of six K.C. lived with Victor, Beverly and the four boys in Eureka,
California. Here is a photo of K.C. and her
brothers in front of the Eureka house. From left to right are Chad,
Bill, Vic, K.C. and Ron. Ron lives with his new
wife, Nicole, in Los Angeles. This is a photo of Ron
and Nicky at their wedding. Chad is living in Monterey, near his mother,
Bev. Here is a photo of Chad and his friend, Inge.
Vic
married Marge Williams and they have two sons, Dashiel
and Tristan. Here is a beautiful shot
of Dash and Tristan with Jaden in Monterey, 2003 and here is one of
Marge,
Dash and Tristan. William (Bill) lives in Etna, California. Here is
a photo of the four boys, from left
to right, Chad, Bill, Vic and Ron. This is a very nice photo
of the entire family in front of their home in Eureka in 1975. This
is a photo taken at Ron and Nicky's
wedding. Left to right, Vic, Marge, Tristan, Dash, K.C., Bev, Skipper,
Chad, Vic Senior. Here is a very nice photo
taken at Bev's big 70th birthday party in Monterey, 2003. Click here to
see a cute photo of Jaden and Bodhi (Ron and
Nicky's son) also taken in Monterey. Ron and Nicky have two beautiful sons.
Here is a nice snapshot of Ron with both
kids. And here is a sweet shot of Ron with
Bodhi and here is one of Finley enjoying being
a baby!
Victor M. Corbett, K.C.'s father. Vic
was born in Winnemuca, Nevada, December 26, 1929. His parents were
Roger Corbett (born 1898, died 1996) and Beulah (Johnson) Corbett (born
1891, died 1978). Here is a photo of
Victor with his six brothers and sisters at a reunion that was held
recently in Reno, Nevada. From left to right, Ella, Victor, Lillian, Roger,
Clara, Silas and Helen (everyone calls her Doll). Clara was Beulah's child
from a previous marriage. Here is a photo of the Corbett
children when they were young with their father in a touring car of
the day.
Beverly (Tewalt) Corbett: Beverly is not K.C.'s
biological mother but she is the woman who loved her and raised her. This
is a photo of Bev, her new husband, Skipper
and their faithful dog, Lady Melbourne. This is a picture of Bev
and her mother, Evelyn Tewalt and this is one of her parents, Bill
and Evelyn (both deceased). This is a photo of Bev's brother, Don
and his wife, Peggy. Here is a lovely photo of Bev when she was fifteen
years old, posing at Samoa Beach near Eureka, California.
And this is a portrait of her first husband, Bob
Christensen, who died tragically at the age of 26. Bob is Ron and Chad's
father. Ron was an infant when his father died and Bev was pregnant with
Chad. Bob was born January 27, 1930 and died on December 15, 1956. Bob
had a brother, Don, who is an architect. He is married to Mary and they
have two daughters, Mara and Karen. Karen
puglished a very good book called A
Sudden Country. It is an epic romance set on the Oregon Trail in the
1850s. Mara and her husband, Joe, have two children, Connor and Lia. Karen
and Dave, her husband (he passed away tragically recently in a skiing accident
on Mt. Baker), have three children, Ellen, Grant and Lachlin. This is a
nice photo of Don, Mary, Mara, Joe, Connor and
Lia.
Roger Corbett: Roger was Vic's father. He was born in 1898 in the front bedroom of the old family home in Sawyers Bar, California. His parents were Roger Corbett and Charlotte Vincent (more about them later on). Roger wrote about the history of his family. Roger had one older brother, William. Here is a photo of the old house in about 1903, with Roger, Charlotte, William and Roger (Roger is on the right). Here is a similar photo taken in 1904. The house in these photos still stands and is used by the family every summer. It is still much as it was in the old days. This is a wonderful picture from 1904 of Roger when he was in grade one, with the entire student body in front of the old school at Sawyers Bar. Roger is front row, far left. That school was burned down soon afterwards by one of the students. Here is another photo of the school taken when it was built. Here is a picture of Roger at the age of 20. This is a photo of Roger taken in about 1925 after some successful pheasant hunting. This is a great picture of Roger and Beulah with their seven children. K.C.'s father is the youngest boy in the front. Roger was an educator in Nevada all of his working life. There is an elementary school in Reno, Nevada named after him. Here is a photo of Roger's son (Roger!) and his wife Inga taken on the porch of the old house at Sawyers with our three children. This photo is of Ella at her wedding to Bill Allen. Ella and Bill have three children, Heather, Bill Junior and Jim. This is a picture of Heather's two girls, Jenny and Jessie. This is a picture of Jessie with her husband and daughter. This is a photo of Roger with his third wife, Muriel. This is a photo of K.C.'s cousin, Carl, and his children (unknown friend back, left). Carl is the son of Victor's brother, Roger and his wife, Inga. Here is a photo of their son, Skipper (Roger). In 1970 Roger wrote a letter to his son, Matt, about the Etna Brewing Company and his adventure with it when he was a senior at Etna High School in 1916. Click here to read what he had to say about that.
Beulah Burnette (Johnson) Corbett (1890-1978: Victor M. Corbett's mother, wife of Roger Corbett. Beulah was an educator for most of her working life. She was born in Spokane, Washington, July 6, 1890. Her parents' names were Silas and Lillian Johnson. It is said that her parents came west from Missouri in a covered wagon. You can see a photo of her above with Roger and their seven children. Beulah graduated from high school in Ukiah, California, in 1907. Here is a photo of Beulah with one of the first classes she taught. The picture was taken in Klamath Falls, Oregon, in 1909. Here are two photos of her and here is another when she was older, divorced from Roger and living in San Francisco.
Roger Corbett (Senior). There can be some confusion as there were so many men named Roger. Each generation, for four generations, named a son Roger. Roger Corbett (Senior) was the patriarch. Here is a picture of Roger Corbett. He is K.C.'s great-grandfather. Roger was born in Boston on April 14, 1844, and it is said that he ended up in California in search of gold in 1861 at the age of 17. It is not known if he did well at that but he ended up settling in the small and very remote town of Sawyers Bar, California. He gave up gold mining apparently (even today there is a mine on Cottonwood Peak called the Corbett Mine but we are not sure if it was his) and opened a saloon which he ran for many years. Here is a photo of him in his saloon. This is a photo taken many years later of the outside of his saloon. Sadly, all of the buildings in the photo were lost during the devastating fire of 1964. Until the big fire Sawyers was the best preserved mining town in the west, not a ghost town, but a viable town with lots of people living in it. Here is a photo of Roger with his four brothers, Michael (the oldest), James, William and Patrick (the youngest) taken in Boston. And here is a portrait of Roger that still hangs today in the old house at Sawyers Bar. Roger is buried in the quaint old cemetery at Sawyers Bar. Here is a photo of a letter that Roger wrote to his wife, Lottie while she was staying in San Francisco in 1895. Roger Corbett married Charlotte (Lottie) Vincent July 3, 1889 in Oakland California.
Charlotte Catherine (Vincent) Corbett. Charlotte is K.C.'s paternal great grandmother. Her family was Portuguese, from the Azores. She was known as Lottie for most of her life. Her father was Joseph Vincent (born 1812) and her mother was Anne (Algers-Deas) Vincent (born 1847). This photo is apparently of the Vincent family. Joseph is the man on the far right but we are not sure who the other people are. I assume they are Joseph's parents and siblings. Joseph was 40 years old in 1860-1861 when he married Anne Florinda Algers-Deas who was born on April 1, 1847 on Faial Island, Azores, Portugal. Anne Florinda died in Sawyers on July 30, 1927 and was buried in the cemetery behind the family house there. Joseph died in Sawyers Bar in 1899 and is buried in the quaint old Catholic cemetery. Here is a photo of his headstone. Their children were Albert (1861-1946), Charlotte (1865-1947), Annie (1867-1954, Jessie (1870-1900), Raymond (1872-1951), Amy (1875-?), Esther (Essie) (1878-1965, Sydnie( 1880-1923) and Sylvester, (born in 1880, died in infancy). Here is a portrait of the girls. Here is another photo of Jessie and here is a nice one of both Jessie and her sister, Charlotte. Charlotte is buried in the cemetery right behind the old house at Sawyers Bar. A lot of her relatives are also buried there. Here is a photo of Joseph, Anne and their sons, Albert and Raymond. We have the California census records listing these people from 1870 to 1920. An interesting bit of family history is that apparently Anne was kidnapped by an aunt at around age 7 and later was sold to Joseph (to be his wife) in Boston, MA. She had her first child when she was 14. Joseph was a whaler out of Boston. He and Anne traveled around the horn of South America and up the west coast to Trinidad, California. They then made the difficult trip by mule train from Trinidad to Sawyers Bar, on the Salmon River. They homesteaded at the mouth of Eddie Gulch and raised their family there. He apparently did do some mining. Annie refused to be buried in the same cemetery as her husband, and indeed is not. We do not have many photos of these people but we do have an interesting one of Henry Peters, who married Charlotte's sister, Annie. In the photo Henry is the man on the right and the man on the left is a man named Fred Myers. They are at Squirrel Jim's cabin. Squirrel Jim was a native American who supposedly guided Captain Best (Bestville, later named Sawyers Bar, was named after him) where to find gold. We also have a portrait of Henry and Annie. We are not sure when either photo was taken. Incidentally, Essie was the last of the family to live full time in the old house still in our family in Sawyers Bar. Essie married David Frederick Skillen in Etna on September 20, 1904 when she was 25 years old. They lived for many years in their home at Skillen Flat, located at White's Gulch. We do not have a good photo of David Skillen but he is in this photo of a 4th of July Parade in Sawyers. He is dressed as Uncle Sam and is leading the parade. Grandpa Roger used to tell us that his Aunt Essie cooked for many years at the lumber mill at Findley Camp. It was the days before flashlights were readily available so when she would walk to and from the lumber mill in the dark, she would carry a branch and scrape it back and forth on the road in front of her to encourage the rattlesnakes to slither away and not get stepped on. At Sawyers we were visited by some descendants of Henry and Annie Peters. This is a photo of Sherri Peters and Gerald Dimmick. Sherri is Annie and Henry's great-granddaughter and Gerald is their grand-son (He is Sherri's uncle). This is a photo of Sherri and Mildred Peters. Mildred is Sheri's mother. Sheri lives in Eureka, California and is a cousin of K.C.'s.
Margaret Patricia (Mulhall) Ahern. Pat was K.C.'s biological mother. Pat was born in Pennsylvania on Christmas Eve, 1933. She had three children:. Kathlene Collette, John and Pandora. Her son, K.C.'s half-brother, John, was raised by Pat's father, Lawrence (Mike) Mulhall and his long-time friend, Connie. In the photo Connie is in the middle. Their long-time friend, Valetta, is on the left. Here is a picture of John with his father, Jack McHale and John's two daughters and this photo is of John and Jack. This is a photo of John with his wife, Ann. Pat's daughter, Pandora, was adopted and reconnected with KC in 1983. This is a photo of Pandora with us when she visited us in Canada. Pandora is married to Robert Crippen, who is an astronaut and is involved in the Space Shutle Program.and he the very first shuttle, the Columbia. Pat's mother, K.C's grandmother, was Margaret (McAndrew) Mulhall. This is a photo of Margaret Mulhall taken with our child, Scotia. Here is a lovely photo of Margaret when she was a young woman. Margaret Mulhall and Lawrence (Mike) Mulhall had two children, one of whom was K.C.'s mother, Pat. The other child was John, Pat's brother. He married Lois Moran and they have four children, Michael, Mary Kay, Margaret and Jack (deceased). Here is a photo of the family. This is a photo of John, Lois, Jack and Mike. This is a photo of Jack and his lovely wife, Jay, taken at DisneyWorld in 1997. This is a photo of Lawrence J. Mulhall (Senior), Mike Mulhall's father, John and Pat's grandfather, K.C.'s great-grandfather. Here is a picture of Catherine (Hale) McAndrew, K.C.'s great-grandmother (Margaret Mulhall's mother, John and Pat's grandmother). This picture is of Catherine (Hale) McAndrew when she was a child with her mother. We do not know her mother's name but she would be K.C.'s great-great-grandmother.
