Hi,
I appreciate your insight and am indeed researching his US history. I found a Patrick
Carney and Mary Hanegan on a 1894 marriage index in Chicago. Since I am not certain they
were married there or that Hanegan was the maiden name our grandmother used it is
anybody's guess if that is they. I am checking into it. The death notice offered no
new info and I have not yet found any naturaliztion papers.
My father did say that the owner or manager of the tenant farm in Ireland was "Capt
Bligh". Since I have not found anything resembling that name I assume it is more a
reference to character. Have you run across that reference before?
It seems Patrick did not keep in contact with his parents or siblings. The hope is that
someone will recognize some of our information and get back to us.
