My dear cousin sent me a few heirlooms that she had gotten from her mother, my aunt: Eileen Therese Doyle Barbarisi. This one is a particularly special treasure. It is a 15-decade rosary that belonged to an older sister of our Grandma Doyle. This sister, Margaret Daley, became a nun at a very young age, and then died not long after at the age of 17!
We didn't have the precise details, so Andrea and I had to go back and forth with some details we could pull together and solved the puzzle ...

I received some fun photos and family history details from Robert "Bob" Eugene Doyle Jr. - the oldest child of Robert Eugene Doyle & Betty Jane Keating. Bob's father was the youngest child of the John Albert Doyle & Florence Bates Doyle family.

My father was Robert Eugene Doyle — John and Florence's youngest. I am Robert Eugene Jr. The oldest of their 8 children. My Dad was my best friend all of my life. He was a devoted family man who died suddenly at 54 years old in 1975. He is the reason for my career choice. I have had boats since the age of 7 yrs old, and still do 70 years later! I'm a retired Charter boat and Yacht delivery Merchant Marine Master Captain, living on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs Arkansas. I grew up with Danny Waldron and Bobby Dowling. Uncle Arlington was my Godfather.

One memory I have about my grandparents (Kenneth and Edna) was going to their lake house at Henderson Harbor and sleeping on their summer porch. They had so many beds out there! We loved eating at the long narrow table inside facing the lake and watching the boats go by.
Another memory is of the times when we were young and would spend the night at their Rochester home. I used to love combing my grandmother's hair! She loved it too and I would often comb her hair for so long that I think she fell asleep! 😂The seven of us kids used to love playing hide and seek upstairs in their house. In Uncle Dick's room, there was a little door that led to a small attic area. And in Grandma's room, there was a walk-in-closet with a door that also led out to the hallway....great places to hide from our siblings! LOL

It was Arthur Doyle and his wife Mary ... who made that move ... who got on a boat and left for a New World, for new hope, a better life. They (along with some of their adult children purportedly left Graiguenamanagh, Ireland circa 1820s/1830s and found themselves in Tyendinaga Township/Marysville, Ontario, Canada. Some (all?) of their children who also moved to Canada are: Charles, Owen, Bridget, Catherine, Martin, and Michael.
