Baptismal record at St Bridget Church, DeGraff, MN= Margaret Francis Condon born: Aug 15, 1886, Baptized Nov 15, 1886. Parents; Thomas Condon and Honora J Hubbard. Sponsors John and Mary Coleman. Priest: Fr. Joseph A Fitzgerald.========================================
This is wrong as her birth is recorded as 24 Aug 1885 in Chippewa County.
15 Aug 1886 is her brother, Thomas' birthday as recorded on his WWI card.
His name was Thomas Francis Condon. Hers was Maggie as recorded. I think the church recorded that wrong.
