Note

Denice has traced one branch of her family back to Ballycharry, Culdaff Parish, County Donegal. Her great-great grandparents were Cornelius and Grace (O'Donnell) McDaid -- Grace died in May 1881 at

the age of 40 and Cornelius in September 1908 at the age of 90 (though their gravestone disputes those ages). Their eldest daughter, Mary, was her great grandmother. Mary emigrated to the US with three of

her 9 siblings  William, Catherine (Carberry) and John. William and John lived in New York or northern New Jersey and Mary, who married Matthew Heary, and Catherine moved to Philadelphia. Those who

remained were Grace (Carey), Annie (Doherty), James, Maggie and Edward (Margaret Gill). Denise is in contact with Edward's descendants in Ballyharry and looking for her Carey cousins who lived

in New York. The other names she is looking for  Foley (NFLD), Reddy (NFLD), Connors, Flynn, Heston, Wiley, Roche (NFLD), Fahey (NFLD), Madden, Casey and Trainor.
