My grandfather died before I began my research, and my grandmother couldn't really remember much about his side of the family...so I've hit a brick wall. The farthest I have been able to go back is my great-grandfather. His name was Darby (or Darcy?) O'Brien. He married my great-grandmother, Dorothy (maiden name Cheyney), who is still living at age 102. They had five children: Marvin, Richard (my grandpa), Jerry, Robert (Bob), and John (Jack). I was hoping that someone may have some information on Darby O'Brien. We think he was born around 1900. He worked for the railroad in Wisconsin. He died around 1958. He was in his mid to late 50s when he died. He is buried in Madison, Wisconsin. I no longer live in the Wisconsin area, so I don't have the option of going to the records office to do research. I would love to find out more about Darby O'Brien, and I would REALLY love to get some information about his parents so I can go farther back in the family tree. Thanks in advance for your help!
