I have to agree with you about the research. But even censuses can be incorrect. My great-grandmother, Julia Lavina McCarty told the 1900 census taker she was a widow, but I know her husband was alive.
Do you have any information on Bernard and Mary (Keegan) McCarty, who came here from Ireland? I'm pretty sure Mary came as a baby around 1845, but I don't know anything about Bernard. Records on their son, John Patrick McCarty are sparse, too. They settled in Providence, RI, and I think they also lived in Cranston. I believe Bernard died in 1889. John Patrick got into some kind of trouble, and I think he was lying low and was using the name John Mack. He was a musician and actor, and I've seen the name "Johnny Mack" on a Baird's Minstrels playbill, but I know that was a common name and might not be my ggrandfather. I have a pretty definite death record from 1941 in Providence, RI. I have no idea what became of Julia after 1910. If you need more info, let me know. I'd appreciate any tidbits I can find about Bernard, John, and Julia. Thanks.
