Here is what I know:
Patrick Joseph CALLAN b. 3/18/1900, Dundalk, Louth, Ireland to parents John CALLAN b. 1877
and Margaret "Maggie" McKEOWN b. 1875, both of Dundalk. John died in 1903 of
pneumonia at the age of 26. I believe the couple had another son Terence (b. 1901) who
died about the same year.
Maggie and Patrick Joseph immigrated to New York around 1904. I believe Maggie died
somewhere around 1910 but may have remarried a man named NIXON and had a daughter?
Patrick Joseph lived with relatives (or friends?) in upstate NY then joined the US Navy
around 1917 or 1918 before finally settling down in Everett, WA and marrying Verna
HOLMSTROM in 1927. The couple had three daughters Patricia, Kathleen, and Margaret Jo (my
grandmother).
Any information you have would be most helpful. Thank you!
