Reginald and Con (Aunts of Edward III) in Ireland, 1910. Reginald with her sister, Aidan (not seen in this picture) became a Nun with the Charity of the Incarnate Order in Galveston, TX. Con immigrated to the US, married Hugh Gannon and was know to live at 46-18 29th Street in Astoria, Queens.

Paul Mikelenas


Paul Mikelenas, Alvina's father. This was taken in 1938, the day before he died. He was born in Lithuania and migrated to Pennsylvania. This is all the information that I have on him at this time.

Alvina Mikelenas


Alvina was born 11/11/11 in Naugatuck, CT to Anna (maiden name: Kuraitis)and Paul Mikelenas. She had one brother, Adolph Mikelenas, who lived in Naugatuck, CT.

She married Edward Finlay in 1930 at Blessed Sacrament Church in New Rochelle, NY. They had 5 children together, Julieann, Jane, Edward, Thomas and Paul. She died of Lung Cancer on 1/1/79.

This picture above was taken in 1930 at Indian Neck, 3 years before she married Edward Finlay. I wonder if he took the picture. I believe Indian Neck is in Cape Cod.
Great pictures below of Alvina in 1927 with her friends at Coney Island.
