Hi. My Carney ancestors come from Indiana too. I have not been able to trace my Carney line further back than the 1880's, so I am trying to find information about them before 1880. My grandfather, Pearl CARNEY (yes, Pearl!) was born in approximately 1880 somewhere in Indiana. He hated the name, Pearl, so he often went by the name of Peter Carney. He married Grace Louise Jack in approximately 1900. Pearl Carney and Grace Jack had six children: Lucille, Theodore, Alvin, Patty, Roger, and Lawrence. My father is Alvin. He was born in Ft. Wayne in 1905, but there is no record of his birth supposedly because of court house fire in Ft. Wayne. The family relocated in Los Angeles, CA, in approximately 1920. Do any of these names sound familiar to you? ----- Original Message ----- From: <GinToney@aol.com> To: <CARNEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2000 2:06 PM Subject: [CARNEY-L] Carney in Indiana, early 1820's or 1830's > My Carney ancestor went to Indiana sometime late 1820's or 1830.
