He was born in County Mayo, Ireland c. 1835. He immigrated to the US c. 1850s. Not sure if he was married then or not. His wife was Catherine McDonald b. 1839 in Ireland. They had 5 children; Mary b. 1857; Elizabeth b.1857-1880; Daniel Joseph b. 1861 (my g-grandfather); George b. 1865; and Petronella b. 10 Sep 1871. They lived in Penn. & NY before moving to Butte, MT c. 1884. Daniel Joseph O'Grady (g-grandfather) married Ellen Melvin c. 1880. They had 4 children (all born in Butte) Catherine b. 1882-1908; Daniel Joseph O'Grady b. 02 Apr 1892 (my grandfather); Clare b. 1895; and Helen b. 1907. The family moved in with Ellen's family in California after Daniel died in a mining accident in 1911. My grandfather, Daniel Joseph O'Grady, married Irene Carrie Chapin c. 1928. They had 2 children (twins); Irene Patricia (my mother) and Melvin Albert b. 23 Jun 1929. George O'Grady (my g-g-uncle) is listed as still living in Butte in the 1930 census. He had a daughter, Mary O'Grady b. 1893, who married Grover Hott. We have very few records of any of these family members. Any information would be appreciated.
