Subject: Looking for information about Annie Eliza McElhinney
Dear lpjen6,I saw a tree you posted on Ancestry called: 'PIERSON/PORTER'. I wanted to learn more about Annie Eliza McElhinney. Here is the information I found:Name: Annie Eliza McElhinneyBirth Date: 30 Jun 1869Birth Place: Washington, Des Moines, IA, USADeath Date: Death Place: Do you have more information about this person or your tree that could share with me?[enter your own message here]Thank you for your info. I would like to know if you have any other Robb info/ Like as to their roots-Irish or German. And if Thomas's father Robt. Had any other Brothers in the area. I know of a Joseph and a John in the Washington Co. area. There were several Robb families in Western Pa. all near Washington Co. Fayette,Westmoreland ,Greene and Allegheney. I am looking for a Robert Robb of Hannastown,Pa. I think all the Robb's migrated from Chester/Lancaster area early in the 1800's or even in the late 1700's . Thank you. Dua
