    1. [NYC-ROOTS] Sullivan/Mc Phillips info needed 1920 to present
    2. PATRICIA CARMODY
    3. Subject: Looking for SULLiVANS...., Margaret b. Nyc 1888, Daniel b. NYC 1892 and Patrick b. NYC 1896 I hoping to connect with a relative/descendent of the Daniel Sullivan, b. 1892/NYC Alice Mc Phillips b.1893,NYC and family. They married approx. 1910, in NYC and first child Daniel died about 15 months old in 1913, in NYC. he is buried with his grandmother, Nora/Hanora (Mulcahy) Sullivan/Carmody who was married to a John Carmody at time of her death in 1914. They are all in Cavalry cemetery. Nora was born in Kanturk, Cork, and came to USA in approx 1885 they also had a cousin Ellen living with the familv according to census (see below) E. 99th Sr & 2nd Ave. according to 1910 NY census. Nora had a brother Denis , and he along with wife and Mother moved to San Francisco in 1890. Daniel had brother Patrick b. 1896, and he died in later 1930's or early 1940, he also had a sister Margaret b.1888, all in NYC.If Margaret married I have no married name for her. Their Father, John Sullivan had died by 1900, leaving their Mother, Nora, a widow with 3 children. Nora arrived in NYC abt. 1884, from Kanturk,Cork married shortly after to John Sullivan.She had had 8 children with John but only 3 survived, and later had 3 more children with only one survivor, born in 1902 after marrying John Carmody. Also looking for info on the sister Margaret Sullivan to see who ?? or if she married and any relations. Margaret born in 1888 in NYC, lived on 2nd Ave. in 1910 census,. The census has her and bothers as last name Carmody and she is married, however,she was not at the time. census taker misunderstood.. However, they were the Sullivan children from Nora , when she married Carmody, and a reason for confusion if anyone else looking for this family. Census takers didn't always get the info straight or sometimes asked a neighbor who thought they knew, or maybe just misunderstood. I am pretty sure there was a son named Thomas of either Daniel or Patrick who once worked for the Manhattan Funeral Home on 3rd Ave., back in the 1960-70 time frame, as he helped make my Fathers arrangements. But I never got to talk with him about family as so many problems were going on at the time.Alice Mc Phillips and family found in 1920 census but I haven't found anymore.If anyone can relate to this info, I would appreciate contact for exchange of genealogical info. Any info appreciated and possibly knock down another  brick in a very thick wall  from when search started in late 1960's. Thank you for reading and any help.

    3. Great time to remind everyone to back up important files to an independent place (cd, DVD, external hard drive, an offline site such as carbonite) or even 2 types of backups. One good thing about ftm 2012 (and the reason I ordered it) is any ftm file we have will be avail from any computer. Thus if your computer crashes no need to panic. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

    1. [NYC-ROOTS] Trouble retrieving backup
    2. Kim Hawkins
    3. This is John, Kim's husband. I'm trying desperately to backup her family tree information. Her computer crashed, but I can access her hard drive. The files I used to try to backup her FT is from the Family Tree Maker folder - the last full backup she did was in February 2010 I believe. My question is - is everything she updated each time she used the program after that lost? Does it automatically get saved somewhere? I'm not sure how the program works. She was using the 2005 version and we're trying to restore it to her laptop which is using the same version. We're also planning on buying the 2012 version. ANY help would be appreciated.
