Moria,
Thank you for the interest in the Houston family. This prompted me to get Mary Houston's birth certificate from the notebook I have been safe keeping. I wonder if this was one of her relatives, even though the spelling is off. We know she was born Septemer 14, 1882. She had a bother Henry born in 1867. We assume they were Catholic. We know her father was John and mother was Mary Dever and when they came to the US with did some Dever's who lived with them in Philadelphia.
We have recently returned from a 12 day tour of beautiful Ireland and had a short stop in Donegal. What a beautiful part the country. It seemed that either you were off to sea or were farmers in the l1800'S. If you find any information that may connect the family please keep me informed. Not knowing anything about my past is disturbing, but after visiting understandable.
Thanks again,
BillyC
