My Moynahan Genealogy Blog: 52 Ancestors #40: My GG Mary (Broderick) Moynahan

No Story Too Small has issued a New Year's Challenge: "Have one blog post each week devoted to a specific ancestor. It could be a story, a biography, a photograph, an outline of a research problem — anything that focuses on one ancestor.”

This week's post is about my great grandmother (GG) Mary Anne Elizabeth (Broderick) Moynahan.

539 Campbell Ave. Windsor, Ontario (circa 1959)

I have four great grandmothers:

Mary Anne Elizabeth Broderick (1869-1960)
Elizabeth Annal (1884-1953)
Effie Alberta Tomlin (1885-1947)
Florence Mary Curd (1886-1915)

Great grandmother Moynahan was the the only GG alive when I was born and I am so grateful that I had a chance to meet her.
