Charles Edward Dougherty Rita, keep trying for MACK, but try to gather his birthdate (military records?) and see if you can find (or how many births you can find) of Charles Dougherty in 1874 & 1875 Ireland. There is a good chance his birth was registered, and will give you parents' names, Townland of birth, date of birth, location of where to search for his family baptism. LDS films of birth indexes are available at Family History Centers for low cost. If you cannot access a FHC easily, perhaps someone will do the lookup for you and give you some options--of how many Charles Doughertys were born in all of Ireland during your time frame. You could cross check later and at least cross a few off that do not work for you. Or maybe there is just one good luck in your search! That is a good start. Regards, Candi in California
