Person:Charles Lauchner (9)

Charles lived with his niece Fern in 1930.

Charles Edward [O'Bannon] Lauchner b. August 29, 1905, birth place leads us to believe he might have been born in Canada or in NY or Ireland. [Mildred Peterson b. August 7, 1912] Charles was never legally adopted by the Launcher's. His biological father was Patrick O'Bannon who was killed in a railroad accident shortly after Charles was born. Patrick was born in County Cork, Ireland and came to the USA in the late 1800's - early 1900's. We are not sure if he immigrated or not at this time. We have just uncovered that Ella moved to NY shortly after her husband Peter Finkler died. She was present in the 1905 census there, in Buffalo, NY. She is also listed in an index in 1906 and then in a marriage license certificate in Canada, right across the Niagra Falls border in 1910. She married Her second husband Frank Shreck in Canada in 1910. Since there is no listing in NY or Canada that we can find and there were writings left by Charles about his father being of Irish ancestry we are trying to find birth or baptismal records in NY, Canada and Ireland on Charles Edward. We are just not sure where this is heading, but Charles father is of Irish heritage and Charles was born out of wedlock. http://www.celticattic.com/genealogy/lauchner.htm
