      >Mike, The only real difference I see in your chart thru the children of Frances Elizabeth Shanks is her son Joseph Merritt. I show he was born on Sept 9, 1874 per St Agnes Baptismal records dn you are showing Dec 15, 1914. Must be some sort of typo on your part, Frances would have been79 and most likely dead??? Bob

      Husband of Mary Elizabeth, Father of William Harold, Lorene, Louise and Royal. Son of James Valentine and Elizabeth Francis Shanks
