Surnames: McCarthy, Abbott Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fh.2ADI/2054.1 Message Board Post: I would be very interested in talking with you. I have a Mary E. McCarthy that was born around 1866 and died 1918. I know that my Mary had a sister with the name of Elizabeth. I don't have her birth year but I do have a death date of 12 Dec 1946. The both were in the Chicago area. My Mary married Eugene Abbott Jan 2, 1887 in Cook County (probably Chicago). Mary and Eugene are my Great Grandparents. Let me know if we have a connection.
