A note from Bob Sweeney:

Through the efforts of many family members, we are beginning to build an exciting, historically informative and commemorative record of the grandparents, great-grandparents and others who helped build Sullivan County and were the founders of the McDonald and Sweeney families in that area. 

My personal thanks to John Laughlin, Ray and Linda McDonald, Bettyann Sick Goodyear, Tina Pastusic, Mary Scott, Bart Cavanaugh, Carol Brotzman, Mike Krause, Kathy Farrell, Pj Little, Tim Myers and Leo P. McDonald for helping to build and make possible this historical respository.  And special thanks to Margie and Joe Long in Buffalo and Beth Wereley in Easton (who helped inspire this search for me), and to the many other members of the McDonald, Montpetit, Sick, Sweeney, Casey, Carey and related families who have cheerfully contributed their time and recollections.

And a final thanks to that wonderful custodian of Sullivan County history, the late Nedra Snyder, for all she did to help us with our search.

This is only a beginning.

Bob Sweeney

A Special Thank You
