I forwarded your message to my father, Vernon Woodrow Humphrey Jr who is the son of Helen Mae Clooney, daughter of John Francis Clooney and Mary Magdalen Mandry. This is what he wrote back to me:
James F. Clooney is Uncle Jim, my grandfather's older brother (there were three brothers, Jim, Tom and John or Jack.) My grandfather and great grandfather were both named John Francis Clooney. Call them John Francis Clooney Mor (the greater) and John Francis Clooney Og (the younger.)
George Clooney would therefore be my Mother's first cousin, and Betty is my second cousin. The person you're corresponding with is your third cousin.
You may tell her that if she was at the Genealogy Library on Pujo Street, the Clooney obituaries are all on line -- I typed them into the computer myself.
Love,
Dad
So it seems that we are cousins!! I would love to see any pictures you have. I also have a lot of photos. A few years ago my father found a box in his great aunt's attic that had undeveloped film from around 1900. He had it developed and the pictures are great!
Thanks for the message, cousin!
Carolyn

My mother was Betty Clooney, daughter of George Clooney, son of John Clooney, son of John F Clooney the same as yours. I would love to share information with you. I have two of my mothers sisters still alive that have shared some stories, but would love to hear more. My sister Sharon and I (Janet) have traveled to Lake Charles trying to learn more, but we had more than the geneaology library had. I do have some photos as well.
