My father was Roy Terrence Hanifin at time's we spelled our name as Hanafan, I do not know why. I was born May 10,1940 to Roy and Rose Toothman Hanifin. To my knowledge they were born in Ronceverte, West Virginia. My father worked for the C&amp;O Railroad Company. I have a sister, Margaret Ann and a brother Patrick now deceased. I was told my grandfather came to the states from Ireland. His name was Patrick Terrance Hanifin. He married my grandmother. Her name was Lillian. After he died, Lillian married Elliet Kirby. Elliet had a son who was very highly ranked with C&amp;O Railroad. He was named after his father, who we called E.D or grandpa. More when I can think of it--- HaHa. </p>
