Message: [QUOTE="orangetom, post: 2631964, member: 246"] My mother's maiden name was O'Connor and her mother's maiden name was Kelly. My mother grew up on a farm not far from Quebec City. I still have a lot of O'Connor cousins in Quebec. Plus my mother had 54 first cousins (Irish). There are a lot of Irish in Quebec. As a kid, my family would visit the Quebec farm every year. In the 50's and early 60's (before the Adirondack Northway was built), we would travel up through Vermont and then across Quebec on back roads. One of the towns we would go through was Thedford Mines. What did they mine? Asbestos! I wonder what supports their economy now. [/QUOTE]
