I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful man at the Troy Library find an obituary on a missing family member. According to the obituary my family member Timothy Ryan who was the son of Phillip Ryan and Mary O'Brien Ryan had the following pall bearers at his funeral. William O'Brien John O'Brien Along with Patrick McCarthy, Charles Donahue, Michael Ryan, Patrick Flanagan and Edward Pendergast. We have always wondered what prompted Timothy's move to Troy, New York since upon immigration from Tipperary through New York he had settled with his wife Ellen McCarthy in the Mansfield, Rhode Island area. I am now questioning if perhaps these two O'Brien men were cousins or even uncles. Does anyone have either of these names in their genealogy? If they are related to Mary O'Brien Ryan her parents were Timothy O'Brien and Catherine Costello O'Brien And hailed from the area of Lackenocormack, Anacarty, Donohill in Tipperary. I believe she also had a sister Josephine O'Brien who raised Mary's children after her untimely death. Thanks to all for the great work you do. Carol VerCammen

I have church certificates, in error, from St. Mary on Lodge St in Albany. Marriage for Pierce J. Ryan and Mary O'Brien10Jun1903 (witnesses: Thomas Ryan and Mary Ryan); Baptismal for Mary Ryan, daughter of Pierce Ryan and Mary O'Brien in Albany 24Jun1904 Baptized 1July1904; sponsors Thomas P. Keough and Sara Brennan. James Edward Ryan b. Albany, Baptized 14Oct1906 (note indicates he may have died at birth); parents Pierce Ryan and Mary O'Brien; no witnesses. I've been trying to find the family these could be useful for. My g grandfather was Matthew Ryan and had a son Michael (and Matthew and Martin). My grandfather was Pierce Ryan (second marriage of Matthew), as was my father.
