The Bagley Family
I have posted the obituaries of the first generation of my Bagley Family that immigrated from County Sligo, and settled in Throop, Lackwanna, Pennsylvania. I hope that there are some Bagley researchers out there who will find this information useful.

One of the things that I have noticed ....
I just started this blog yesterday. I have benefited from getting information together to post in that I have found things that I hadn't looked for before. I wanted to post the obits for the Bagley's and their children and found one obit missing. I googled what I was looking for and up came the obit, posted by Alaine2 on ancestry.com. I am sending off for that obit and look forward to posting the obits of the Bagley's and their children.
Next, I had planned to write about how a deed can fill in the blanks on a family. But, when looking at the group sheet for the family, I didn't have a reference for the 1850 census. They should be listed. I want to double check that and then will write more on the Coss Family of Jefferson Township, Luzerne (now Lackawanna) County, Pennsylvania.
I am really enjoying the blogging process and am excited to fill in more blanks in my research.

I have finally done it -----
Today, I took the giant leap and started my blog. I have thought about it for a while and hesitated to jump in. Today, I spent some time reading new blogs and decided to take the plunge.
I want to post some of the information that I have accumulated over the years in the hopes that the information will be useful to others. Of course, I hope that I will be able to make some connections to add more information to my lines as well.
This is going to be a work in progress and while I can't promise that I will post every day, I hope that some of what I do post will benefit others.
