My name is Thomas (Tom) Carmody and my father and his father's name was Thomas. My grandfather's mother was from County Clare and her name was Margaret. I need to do some more research from my end and find out more information. I do understand from my aunt Adele Carmody that the name Michael was my grandfather's dad. Coud this be the same that you have documented? Please keep in touch and I look forward to hearing from you. By the way...Margaret came from County Clare as a widow and settled in Berdan, IL.. which is outside of Carrollton, IL, which is where my family has resided for over 100 years. God bless, Tom Carmody thomascarmody@attbi.com
