Hi Kimberly,
Sorry for the last response. My mailbox is full and it takes me a long time to get to all
my emails. I believe my GG grandparents, John & Catherine, along with at least 2 of
their sons, Michael and Tom, came to the US in 1858. John & Catherine were both born
in 1808 and Michael was born in 1848. I can't find where they entered the US. The
most common entry ports were Canada, New York, or Boston. Since Michael married a girl
from Vermont, they may have come in through Canada. He was injured while working in a
factory in Massachusetts, so they could have come in through Boston. Anyway the family
eventually settled in northern Iowa. There are so many Carneys. From what you wrote, I
don't think we're the same family, but I'd love to compare how we've both
found family information. My direct email is tlgreenlee(a)aol.com.
