I am searching for information on my gg grandfather, Michael Mack. I have a very slim reason to believe he may have lived the latter part of his life in Leavenworth Co. Here is what I know about him: He came to the U.S. from County Clare, Ireland in approximately 1868(?). He landed in NY and I believe he came alone since my grandmother wrote that he worked for a time to earn passage for his family to follow. He changed his name from McNamara to Mack after he came to the States. Later he was joined by his mother (name unknown) and six children: Annie (Leonard), Margaret (Redmond?), Bridget (McGlynn), Mary (Mulvey), Martin (who continued to use the family name of McNamara) and Henry Mack. His wife supposedly died before Michael made the trip. The family story is that she was accidentally shot by one of her daughters. The family was Catholic. Michael's son, Henry, is my great grandfather. I do know that Henry met and married my great grandmother, Ida Mae Ryan, in Leavenworth Co. on December 24, 1885. That's my only link to putting Michael in Leavenworth. Henry and Ida Mae later moved to Wyandotte Co. I have Henry's Intent for Naturalization papers. It says he came to the U.S. in 1868 from Queenstown, England. He was born in County Clare and landed in New York in 1868. He didn't know the name of the ship or what month he came in. I have also read in my grandmother's notes that he may have come to the U.S. in 1872, but have no official records to back that up. I am looking for anything at all about Michael's life. I can't find him on Federal Census records and or published Immigrant Ship Manifests. I did find a listing in the Kansas State Census. There are two Micheal Mack's listed. One is in 1 W (page 287) and the other in 3 W (page 402) on the 1870 Leavenworth Census at Ancestry.com. There are no links to the actual pages though. I would really like to have a copy of those if possible. I would also like to find a death date. He was probably buried in a Catholic Cemetery in either Leavenworth or Wyandotte Co. I did find a listing for Michael Mack at Ancestry.com in a Leavenworth Co. directory 1890-1893. In 1890 he is listed as a laborer and living at r615 Cheyenne In 1893 he is listed as a driver at the same address. Does anyone have access to these directories? Can you point me to an online map so I can find this address? Thanks for your interest! Kate Clabough
