That's interesting. So far I've looked at my grandfather and his siblings scattered in Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas. Once I start looking at his father Edmund, its possible that I'll find a relation to Joseph. Edmund, and possibly some of his siblings, moved from Conn to Ohio, then Iowa. Back in the 60s we were at a family reunion in Plainview, Nebraska -- a town full of Scranton -- supposedly one of the cousins had done genealogy that did link us with Scranton, Pa. I've got a lot of research and records to go through first. Cedar Rapids is fairly close to where Edmund first settled in Iowa, and families did tend to move to areas together.
