Hello I was looking for Clare Family information. I ran across Adler Family which was my 3rd Great Grandmother.
Any help finding a Margret Flannery 1830 wife of John Clare residents of Will county and Joliet
To Chris Kelly I have a photo from Joliet with 4 men. Only 2 are identified on the back. One is George Clare. The other is my father. You can contact me at [email protected] if you’d like me to send you the picture
I don’t have anything about your Clare/Flannery group because you don’t show the connection to the Adler family. but maybe Gina Adler can help. She has done extensive research for a long time about the Adlers. She is on Ancestry with a private tree.
If you are on Ancestry search John Clemence Adler 17 Mar 1837 Bachen, Canton Trier, Kreis Martzig, Prussia – 29 Jun 1919 Joliet, Will, Illinois. Wife Emily T. Erhard. 11 Nov 1842 Joliet, Will, Illinois – 15 Dec 1888 Joliet, Will, Illinois. Her tree should come up with username gadler22.
Hope she can help.
