Welcome! If this is your first visit to our blog, please read our Intro post here. To date we have written posts about all known members of the first, second, and third generations of descendants of William Loney of Co Longford, Ireland, their spouses, and their spouses’ families.
If you are looking for information on someone in particular, you can use the “Search” feature in the upper right hand corner of this page.
We hope that the information you find here will be helpful to you in your genealogical research, lead you to an “aha” moment, or help you find a missing ancestor or branch of your family tree. And, we have loved hearing from everyone who has contacted us.
While we make every effort to ensure that what we post is accurate (based on source documents or “reliable” family information), we would be silly to think that we haven’t made any mistakes. If you run across one, please, please, please let us know so we can correct it.
Finally, we remain forever optimistic that someone out there will contact us because they have old Loney family photos to share. We would be especially thrilled to have one of William, Charles, John or Robert Loney or their sister, Ann Loney Cunningham. We are waiting to hear from you!
While researching Thomas Henry and Flora McPhee Loney, we enjoyed discovering a bit about their son, Archibald Malcolm Loney and his wife, Carrie Price Chase Loney. Both were chiropractors/ osteopathic/drugless physicians, practicing in the Los Angeles/San Pedro/San Francisco area in the first half of the 1900’s. We’ll write more about that soon.
Throughout our research we’ve found that sometimes learning where someone was on a certain date or during a certain timeframe can be the key that unlocks a door to discovering other things about that person and their families’ lives. With that in mind, we are sharing this 19 Feb, 1923 Oakland Tribune article mentioning Carrie as a passenger in a Pickwick limited stage accident.
Thankfully Carrie does not seem to have been seriously hurt and but was one of those treated at a hospital for bruises.
