My wife's paternal granny, Gladys, was of course, a Shahan. All granny knew about her father was his name, Leslie Shahan. Granny's mother, Lavada, was a witness when Granny applied for a delayed birth certificate in 1972. Lavada annotated that Leslie Shahan was Granny's father.  A few years ago we spoke to Harry's brother, Andrew, who has since passed, in California. He recalled meeting Harry's wife, Vada, in Mounds, OK. We have family that remembers Lavada Mann being called Vada.
