    2. Shannon Courtney
    3. I am looking for McQuaid/ McQuade family related to Bishop Bernard J. McQuaid of Rochester and trying to reconstuct more of his family history. Bernard J. McQuaid ( b: circa 1800 Ireland;d: May 2, 1832 Paulus Hook NJ) He was employed by George and Phenice Dummel ( New Jersey Glass Factory). He died May 2, 1832 in Paulus Hook, New Jersey and is buried in NYC at 11th Street Cemetery (now relocated). The bishop's mother, Mary McQuade (nee McGuire) died at the age of 33 ( June 15, 1827 - Mary McQuade died at Paulus Hook, NJ). She is buried at St. Patrick's Cemetery, NYC. Bernard McQuaid Sr. remarried and he had another son Patrick McQuade who died at the age of three months, March 27, 1829. The bishop had in his possession a family bible of Robert and Catherine McQuaid. No relationship written in the book. But there are two dates of deaths for these individuals that the bishop hand wrote. Robert, Sept. 15, 1841 and Catherine, Dec. 5, 1845. I wonder where they died and how they are related - but must be close kin for him too have their bible in their possession. Now where to go to continue my search? any suggestions?
