Hello, I am looking for information on two people in my Geary genealogy. The first is Joseph Geary, who was married to Margaret Easley Geary (1829–1902), born in 1822, died in 1876, and is burried in St. Mary's/Holy Family Cemetery in Latrobe, PA. I would like to know if anyone has census data, birth and death dates and places, and/or parents' information. The second is John Geary, the father of Joseph Geary, who was married to Catherine (possibly Coyle) Geary (1792-1872), born in 1789 (presumeably in Ireland), died in 1872, and is burried at St. Mary's/Holy Family cemetery. I believe that he may have emigrated from Dublin, Ireland to Philadelphia, PA between 1805 and 1821. I believe that his parents may be John Geary (b. Aug. 5, 1756 – Dec. 30, 1798; Ireland) and Jane Mussen Geary. If anyone could help me with census data, birth and death dates and places, emigrating information, and/or parents' information I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. Sincerely, Brian C. Geary
