* UPDATE on the picture of J.M. Cunningham.
It seems that the gentleman in the photograph may be a Jesuit Priest. It is believed that the photograph may have been taken in Minneapolis! Kathy isn't sure of the date yet. "I do know it was a photography company called "The Miller studios" and they did a lot of photography around the 1890's. I'm going to get a hold of the Jesuit parish there in Minneapolis and see if they have any records of him. I just don't know what J.M. Stands for (James Michael, John Michael, Joseph Michael) a lot of my male family members have "Michael" as a middle name. "

FURTHER UPDATE:

The lady who I'm questioning to be Kate Rogers is indeed Kate Rogers.

There is no Jimmy Rogers (that guy's name is Jim McCauley and he is Kate Rogers' son).

The little girl in the picture with Jimmy is Margaret McClelland. She is my 2nd cousin.

The picture of Simon Rogers is indeed Simon Rogers.
I still don't know who the gal with Jimmy is with the horse or the priest J.M. Cunningham, or the two older people standing in the doorway.

Does anyone recognize this Pat McCartan or Mary?

Anyone have a Patrick McCartan married to Mary Hughes in their tree?

Here is the picture that reads Pat McCartan and Mary. I don't know when the picture was taken, but I'm guessing it was when my father was in Ireland as a young soldier on leave. He was about 21 then so I'm guessing this was around 1951. I am looking for Brannigans, Cunninghams, Rogers and Grants and I know somewhere down the line someone married a McCartan.
