This blog is for the Conlon Cousins to share activities and events of their families. It is also where genealogy postings will provide us with "links" to the past.
All family members are welcome to post news, information, announcements, questions, family tales... Perhaps sharing recollections of growing up in Sturgeon Bay or our memories of our youth in the Conlon Clan would be interesting. Each family member can post information and pictures by simply sending an email to a special blog address and it will be immediately posted. That address will be sent to you on request.We can set the site to be restricted to only "authorized" individuals or leave it open.
We can set up restricted access to family contact lists. Lots of possibilities!!!

Join the fun and post some stuff...

Bart Conlon Obit

Click on image to see it larger

Pat Conlon Walter sent this clipping from the Door County Advocate.  It is the obituary of Bart Conlon, father of John Conlon Sr,

Additional details:
Bartholomew "Bart" Conlon was born 1831 in Rathangan County Kildare Ireland. He moved to Canada in about 1835. Bart married Mathilda Thompson in Canada and moved to Door County.  Son John was born in Jacksonport, 13 July 1881. John married Jenny Propsom, 10 January 1905.  Mathilda died 5 September 1883 when John was 2 years old.  John was raised by his Uncle Thomas Brooks and Aunt Rose Ann (Conlon) Brooks, taking on the name Brooks until just before getting married when he officially changed it back to Conlon when he was about 21 - When I find that document I'll post it. Bart lived until September 1916, 23 years beyond Mathilda. Two of his children died before his death.

I have connected with Audrey Jacques Cappelle via Facebook and she has sent me some corrections for her family information in the Jacques - Nick Conlon (John's brother) line.  See previous posting Conlon - Conlin - Conlier...
