From Stephen Holmes in Douglas.
My mother (Marion Ruth nee Clague) didn’t have Florence Prendergast’s date of birth on a ‘family tree, so I did a bit of research on Ancestry.com, – I found the date “? 1921” and Ford County, so I think I got the right Florence Elliott Kneale. Then I found a “bunch of Kneales” at a place called Mona Township in Ford County, Illinois. What is the collective noun for the Kneale family?
Many of us know about Laxey Cemetary in Wisconsin, but Mona seems to have eluded us.
