Death certificate of Ella Dodd shows her parents to be Geo (George) Seany and Emeline Burt. One census shows both Geo and Emeline to be born in NY while another shows one to have been forn in NY and the other in NJ. (Poor handwriting could explain the differing states.) George and Emeline moved from Crawford County ot another county in IL. Almira and Mary are 2 children that show on census after they moved from Crawfrod county. Nimrod may have been a relative of George, but I have seen no information to confirm that. Due to the uncommoness of thr name Seany and the fact that they lived in the same area suggests that they may have been related but does not prove it. The family tree of Nimrod Seany is a confusion of 2 separate families. One of my grandmother''s sisiers had the middle name of Emeline while my grandmother had the middle name of Almira, suggesting the relationsip to Emieline Burt and Almira Seany. One of Ella Seany Dodd's sons was named George Ward Dodd, suggesting a relationship to George Seany.
