Dear Kymm,
My name is Jacqueline Lee Carney Wickstrom. I was born in California in 1938. My father
was Alvin Jack Carney. He was born in Indiana in 1905. His father's name was Pearl
Carney (yes, Pearl). This is what I know about Pearl Carney. He may have been born in
Indiana or in Kentucky, or possibly in another state. I DO know that he was born in
1872. I have a census record of him and his family living in Kentucky in 1910. He and
his family were boarders of a John Rotts in Kentucky according to the 1910 U.S. Federal
census. Pearl Carney was married to Grace Louise Jack Carney. She was born in Ohio. In
1910 they had four children living with them - Lucille, Theodore, Alvin (my father), and
Roger. In 1920 they were living in Los Angeles, California. I was born near Los
Angeles.
I have been told by my aunt, Beatrice Carney, (married to my uncle Roger, listed above)
that Pearl Carney was orphaned when he was a boy. I am interested in finding out if Pearl
Carney might be related to John Alexander Carney as a brother or as a son. I have been
looking for people who were related to Pearl Carney from his boyhood days or who were his
ancestors. I have been working on this for about 10 years now, and so far have found no
information.
I realize you posted your note on the internet 5 years ago, but I thought I would give it
a try anyway.
Sincerely, Jackie
