Message Board Post:
Hi,
Thanks for the message. I re-read your e-mail after I responded and realized that you were
in NJ. That seems to be the area our family settled in once they arrived from Ireland.
My great-grandparents lived in Newark at some point. I am not sure for how long as they
later moved to Belmar. My great-grandfather, Mike worked for the City of Newark driving a
trolley.
My grandfather was also named Michael, but his family called him Joe. He was Winnie's
brother and therefore was also your mother's first cousin. He worked for IBM and died
in 1964.
I really liked my great-aunt Winnie. She taught me a lot about our family. She was a very
nice person and I was lucky to have known her. Barbara is a sweetheart. I have only met
Pat once, but she was very nice as well.
