I've just started to upload tomb stone pictures to findagrave.com. So far I've linked together some of the Coynes and Engles. Take a look and if you want, leave some virtual flowers. We go out to the cemeteries and take pictures, crop, size and post them. Finally have a use for the digital camera. It certainly makes it easy. Amazing how many biting insects are lurking in cemeteries. Some of the stones are hard to find, let alone read.

I've taken some tomb stone photos and was looking for a place to post them. Finally settled on findagrave.com as it seems to offer the most options. It's free to join, covers the whole world and the images can be down loaded for free. It also offers bio, obits and memorials. You can even leave flowers.

So far I've entered some Engles in Rural cemetery, Oswego, Oswego, NY and Cohen/Coyne in St. Mary's, Clinton, Oneida, NY. If you search by name and cemetery, they should come up.

Added a Moda section. A Lebanese family living in the Clark Mills area. Connected to the Coynes via the Shepherds. This section has the second account of a son dying in WW 2. Anthony J Moda, a paratrooper, died fighting east of the Rhine.

Theodore R Flint was the first that I found. He was in the Navy, a Carpenters Mate, and died in an accident. I was in the Navy and never heard of a CM rating. Perhaps it was an old rating now discontinued or perhaps he was a Sea Bee.

Still working on John Lawrence Coyne's WW I history. Every thing seems to lead to a dead end.

Currently attempting to flesh out John Lawrence Coyne's WW 1 story.  Unlike his brother, my grandfather, Thomas, his military records do not seem to exist.  There is some general information about the battles he was in and the places he mentions but that is all we are apt to get.

Just added Morgan and Jenkins, Allwood pages to the Family Events section of my homepage.  I select families to research that are connected, somehow, to the Coyne family.  Vincent Coyne married Clarissa Kipers and her brother,  Klass Kiper,s married Florence Morgan in 1914. The Allwoods and Jenkins are connected through my grandmother Bertha Martha Minne Friberg Calkins cousin Olga Rhode Allwood.  Family Tree Maker tells me Olga is my second cousin 2x removed.  It amazes me that I can have 2800 people in my tree all related by marriage.

Ellis Island data on Anchestry.

Just realized I didn't have electronic images for the arrival of Cohen/Coyne in 1906, 1907 and 1920.  Searcher for them on ancestry and 1906 and 1920 were very easy to find. 1907 however, not so much. 

This was the year Ellen and family arrived.  I have a printed copy so I knew exactly what to enter in the search boxes but still, I was unable to find anything even close.  Mark Clarken and family came over with Ellen, just as Frank came over with harry in 1906, so I searched for her.

Bingo, found her right off.  When I checked the printed version at the bottom of the page, I found Cohen had become Coker.  An obvious error, once you find it.

Bethlehem

Added a Bethlehem section to the Family Events section of my website.  The Coyne and Bethlehem families were joined when John Bethlehem and Nora Coyne were marred on May 10, 1941.  Nora was the daughter of Frank Coyne and Lena Overend.
