Dear Clarke, Thank you for answering my quiry! I have never been able to find Margaret Carney's family. She married Laurence Van Gorder, and lived in and around Greeley, Colorado, with the rest of the Van Gorders. She is buried in Greeley. I hope that your Carneys are mine too! What does MBTT mean? All I have is the name Andrew and Magdalena Carney. I am not sure they are her parents. Margaret was born 22 May 1831 at Warwarsing, Ulster, New York She died at Lone Tree, Weld, Colorado [outside of Greeley] 12 June 1898. She married Laurence VG in Ulster, N.Y.1854 They had eight children, the first five born in Ellenville, Ulster, N.Y. The next three were born in Wilcox, Elk, Pa. Sounds like you have a pretty good family to be related to!! My daddy was always proud to have an Irish Carney in our family. Do you think we can connect our Carney's? Please let me know!! Thank you for writing. Please enclose your e mail address. Sincerely, Doris Van Gorder Davis dorisd@reanet.net

Just a note to say that I am trying to track a Francis Carney from Maguiresbridge, Enniskillin area that died about 1855. His wife and children immigrated in late 1850's through Boston to Corning NY, then Watkins, NY. My ggrandfather was John Carney who was born at MB in 1840. He and brother Francis moved to Ouray, Colorado about 1878. If either of you have a Francis in your family in Fermanagh, we possibly could be related. Thanks for reading and hope to make connections.
