Hi,
I have been searching for my grandfathers roots with no luck for a few years. Here is
all I have to go on. I would appreciate any help at all. Here is his information. Born in
1880 place unknown,grew up in the stockyard area of Chicago.
Worked as a mariner on the Great Lakes and St Lawrence Seaway. Found him on the Ellis
Island web site returning to America in 1906 from England with wife and child.I found many
Chicago Carmody family members travelling back and forth from England and Chicago, so
there may be a connection there. His wifes maiden name was O'brien,born in Birmingham
England. I know the rest of the story. Seeking any help from
Illinois Carmodys'
Thanks Ed
