Judy, Thanks so much for your help to everyone. If your are not "researched out" could you try this one? I have no family left to ask and I am at a dead end. My grandfather's name was JOHN JOSEPH MURPHY . I was told from County Cork but that's all . In the Jersey City census of 1910 he was 26 years old so I'm guessing his year of birth at 1884. (In case this helps he had three sons John, William and Vincent. Maybe he named them after his father or brothers or something?) Thanks for anything you might be able to find. I know there are a million Murphys! Maureen
