LUBY FAMILY GENEALOGY STATUS 118th LUBY FAMILY REUNION

During the past few months’ 212 family updates, (births, deaths, marriages, etc) have been made using Ancestry .Com Family Tree Maker software. Most of the updates came from emails sent to kerri over the past year and from family representatives.

As of June 1st 2010, we have 1094 members of the Luby Association, 355 marriages, 9 generations of William and Mary Luby descendants in America, and 316 surnames. The oldest birth recorded is about 1798 with William Luby and the newest birth record is John Otto Lemke April 2010.

David Crotty uploaded a recent copy of the William Luby Descendant Chart to the Luby Family Reunion web site and is available for you. In addition, if you would like a copy of your individual family tree and or family fact sheet send me a request, email works best, with the name of the head of family and I will get it to you as an attachment to an email.

As Genealogist my focus is to assist Kerri in making updates to the family data base, research missing family data, and continue to research our family roots.

0 In regards to the missing family data, I would like to send a descendant chart

To each head of family in attendance hear today as an attachment to an email

For you to update then return to me so I can add the information to the database.

0 In regards to researching our family roots, I would like to report on some of the

More interesting items found to date.

1 Correspondence with the LaSalle County Genealogy Guild

Marriage record from St Patrick’s Church, LaSalle Ottawa IL.

“ 26 October 1843 Marriage of William Connelly and Helena Luby

I enrolled in marriage William Connelly, son of Henry Connelly

And Joann? Born about 25 years ago with Helen Luby, daughter of

William Luby and Marie Luby, born 19 years ago. Witnesses are

Edward Fanning (sp) and Marie Wafer.

Alphonsus Plantiova (sp)”

Most of this was written in Latin and was interpreted by a friend Father

Frank Kelley.

NOTE: We have no record of a Helen Luby born about 1824.

William and Mary Luby had one daughter Ann Theresa Luby born in

Ottawa, IL 8/7/1837 and they all left Il. In 1840 to head back to Ireland.

I believe the chances of another Luby family living in LaSalle County

In 1843 is very slim. Ottawa IL had less than 500 people living there

At that time. It is possible that Helen was a daughter of William from

A previous marriage or was William’s brother’s child that William

And Mary raised as their own. Needs more research.

2 Correspondences with County Sligo Heritage and Genealogy Society
