Margaret & Randy <mrcarmean@sbcglobal.net> wrote: I also have Brady from Ottawa here. I start with Michael Brady born in Ireland - possibly County Cork approx. 1835. He married Bridget Burns in an unknown location before 1853 when their first child John was born. Their children were John 1853 Alice 1859 Edward 1860 (my ggf) Katherine "Kate" (abt 1861) Elizabeth (1861) George (1864) went to Butte Montana Sarah Anne (1865) Eliza Jane (1866) William Henry (1872) went to Butte Montana James Thomas (1876) married a woman named Elizabeth b. 1880 Pennsylvania. Some of their children will be born in Pennsylvania as well. I have not found the Pennsylvania connection but my line recalls there were relatives there. Plus my cousin descends from another Brady line in the northern part of the county AND (of course) my ggga married Bryan Bernard Brady from Ireland. They lived in LaSalle County, then Benton County, Indiana and eventually South Dakota and Chicago. Would love to hear from you if any of this rings a bell with your Brady research. I'll be glad to connect you with my cousins if their lines ring a bell as well. Margaret mrcarmean@sbcglobal.net ============================== Jumpstart your genealogy with OneWorldTree.
