Foley

From Wikipedia: Foley is a surname which originated in Ireland, in the southeast Munster region. The name is derived from the original modern Irish Ã“ Foghlú and older Irish Ã“ Foghladha, meaning "plunderer". The Lord of the Decies (the Waterford area of Munster) was a title attributed to some early Foleys.

Se. 2, Ep. 5: Digging into the 1950 Census, or FamilySearch Fellow Travelers

Description
In this month's episode, recorded on May 7th, I make some early discoveries in the 1950 Census, including my Grandaunt Sheila's occupation as census taker and my Granduncle Albert's residency Philadelphia State Hospital at Byberry. I make contact through FamilySearch with some potential distant cousins along the Smith and Foley lines, including an e-mail contact with a descendant of Bernard Smith of Boston. Lastly, a recent update to the Webtrees software will enable me to whitelist photographs and documents as I clear them for publication.
