Hi, Lisa, Thanks for contacting me. Thank you for the information. Yes, this is my Michael McCARTY. I descend through Michael, I > Michael, II, > Edward & Sarah > Alford > Hyram > Martha Ann Caroline McCARTY & William Tunley JONES > Rodella 'Della' JONES & Cicero Lamkin HATTEN > Ethel Rosalee HATTEN & 2nd husband: Louis Hector SLAUGHTER, (Ethel was Louis's 3rd wife and Ethel's 1st husband was Joseph Marion WOMACK) > Ethel LaVerne SLAUGHTER & Billy Earle MYRICK. After Michael, II, I noticed the M.D. letters....do you know what that is in reference to? I am unaware of his being a physician.....but would it be that or something else? I will check to see if I have any more additional information to what you sent. Do you have any information on the parents or siblings of Michael McCARTY, I out of County Cork? So far, I have nothing on them but since there are, apparently, many McCARTY from Cork County that may not be such an easy proposition. Thanks. Bellinda
