Hi! Hope this helps. A few years ago I called St. Pat's and got a copy of the churches in Manhattan so I checked the two addresses you gave and found they are only about 14 blocks apart (652 Amsterdam Ave is bet. 91 st. and 92 Streets, and 135 W. 106 st. is off Amsterdam and 106 st.) I found the following catholic churches listed in that area: Ascension (est. 1895) 221 W. 107 St. NYC 10025 Holy Name of Jesus (est. 1868) 207 W. 96 St. NYC 10025 Notre Dame (est. 1910) 405 W. 114 St., NYC 10025 St. Gregory the great (est. 1907) 144 W. 90 St. NYC, 10024 I also found a current address for the Little Sisters of the Poor. You can write to them at: 110-30 221 Street Queens Village, NY 11429 718-464-1800 Best of luck! I too am looking for a Mary O'NEIL, but mine was born in Benburb, Co. Tyrone, Ire in 1870, arrived in NYC about 1890 and married a gentleman named CRITTON.
