Update: My Grandparent's Funeral Cards

On a recent trip to Michigan I had the joy of meeting with cousins and shared more family history stories. I was so excited when cousin Shelly Coughlin MacKinnon gave me some of her prayer cards (see below) that I have added to my original blog page entitled: "My Grandparent's Funeral Cards"

In updating this page, I have also added the prayer card for James Annals Jr that I recently received (and wrote about on "Meeting Distant Cousins from the Annal-Hess Clan") from a distant Annal-Hess cousin (from the Private collection of Graydon Douglas Simpson (son of Nellie Annal))

52 Ancestors No. 24: My Grandparent's Funeral Cards

 I have decided to devote this week's blog post to the huge collection of mass, funeral and prayer cards that were passed down to me from my grandparents Ernest and Rhea (Coughlin) Moynahan.

The majority of the cards are from the Marcotte and Janisse Funeral Directors. The others are: The Kennedy Funeral Home (Essex, Ont); Anderson Funeral Service; James H. Hutton Funeral Home; Van Deweghe Funeral Chapel and Windsor Chapel.

Of the seventy-one cards posted below, only nineteen are confirmed Moynahan-Coughlin ancestors. The majority are friends, neighbours, co-workers and acquaintances of my grandparents and I am posting them here for other Ontario and Michigan genealogists and family historians.

If you find a beloved ancestor amongst the cards below, I would love to know. Please leave a comment below.
