I am a descendant of Carmodys from the Sprfld area. My grandmother was Ellen T. (Carmody) Kennedy (1878-1953); her father was Jeremiah J. Carmody (born near Palmer, 1852-died in Southbridge, MA 1931); his father was Thomas Carmody (b. Co. Kerry, 1799-died, Chicopee Falls, 1872). Jeremiah's siblings were: John B. Carmody (1833, Kerry-1901, Palmer); Thomas A. Carmody (1838, Kerry-1905, Chicopee Falls); and Bridget (Carmody) Donlon (1840, Kerry-?). Anything sound familiar?
