Hi Barbara! We may be cousins..
It sounds like the family you are describing is close to my grandmother's. Was Thomas born 1911, and was he married to Rose?
My grandmother was Helen R. Pargin of Philadelphia (1901-1972...her married name was McAndress).She had brothers James and Thomas, and two sisters, Catherine and Winifred. Their father was named Thomas, but our word of mouth says he was born in Ireland, moved toEngland and immigrated to Philadelphia. He was married twice - to sisters I think. He was also a railroad worker. I'm not really sure of his birth date, but I know my mother who would be 77 knew him when she was small. Ihave a photo of him..
I also have a picture of the younger Thomas Pargin (maybe your father) and James Pargin with my mother as a flower girl in a wedding taken about 1930.
Anyway, let me know if you have any information on the Pargins, too! Take care!
