Where did they all go? My Grandpa, Richard J. Flanagan, used to say that his McLaughlin relatives had all left Napa, California years ago. I do think that is a true statement. Even my great-grandmother, Mary Elizabeth "Minnie" McLaughlin left Napa. She moved to Monterey County to live with her daughter, Kay, after Jack passed away. I can briefly trace the movements that I know off for this children and indicate questions where I don't know what happened. I suspect that many of their children stuck around Northern California. They had just all left Napa.

Except for Catherine, all of these McLaughlin siblings were married and had children. I believe many of the children also lived in Northern California. If any of the descendants of this line would like to share information about their ancestors, feel free to email me at kristin@zelsersk.net. I do have some additional information for this family unit.
