Michele, I'm a Carney, too. My ggf Michael Carney was from the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland (I think). He came to the US somewhere between 1848 & 1868. I don't know if he came through Canada or not. Family stories say he worked in a factory in Massachusetts. He married my ggm Ellen Grace in Poultney, VT in 1868 and they settled in the Midwest. If you would like to share any more Carney information, please let me know. Teresa Carney Greenlee TLGREENLEE@AOL.COM
