Hello to all Cahills and Cliffords out there. My name is Stephanie, I live in Sacramento
CA. I am the grandaughter of James Edward Clifford and his second wife, Alma Louise Clark.
I have been researching the Clifford family history on this end for three years, I have
tried to make contact many times with the Cahill branch of the family but; no one ever
responds to my emails. Was my grandpa that horrible of a person? I was only eleven when he
died in 1964 and my mother, Mary had passed away just a few months before he did. I have
no bad memories of my grandfather and have never heard anything bad about him. My only
real memories of him are in his later years in a nursing home. Grandpa had both of his
legs amputated at the knee and was in a wheel chair, we went to see him on Sundays, I can
remember that he used to like to sit in the garden on sunny days and sing old Irish folk
songs, sometimes he'd call me over to him and sing just for me, he liked to call me
his " little wil!
d Irish Rose". I am just a bit curious about my grandfather and Veda Cahill, I know
that they had a daughter, Dorothy Lillian, who died at a young and left a small child
behind. I would love to hear from any of you.
Sincerely, Stephanie
