Note - I've known that William Joseph Lynch's father's name was Edward P. Lynch but was unable to find out what the P. stood for. Finally I came across a document with Edward's full name on it. That document is the marriage record of William Lynch and Hilda Kaija (Grampa Lynch married Hilda a few years after his first wife, Helen Butler, died). This document can be seen on the "Miscellaneous Family Documents" page. (Rick 2025)
