My mom has always indicated that by the time she was born and in her early childhood, the McLaughlin's had all moved away from Napa, CA.  She never knew most of these people except the Flanagan's and Fratessa's, at least not to her knowledge.  It is interesting how so many of Ellen Maxwell's and Thomas McLaughlin's children remained in Northern California.  On the other hand, it is interesting to note how families split up and go their own way.  I can understand this.  Life gets busy, busy, busy, and we can't always make time to keep in touch.  It's human nature to an extent but I do think that it is a cultural thing in the United States.

If anyone has any additional information, updates, or corrections to Ellen Maxwell's line above, please comment on the blog post with your email address.
