Thomas McGarrity of Philadelphia?
I am trying to find relatives related farther back than the grandparent level. My grandfather's mother died when he was a baby, and his father ran away when he was still young. He and a sister were sent to an orphonage and we lost our tie to the other McGarritys. Sean Cronin (author of The McGarrity Papers)recognised my father as a McGarrity in the New York City public library, and my brother (9) looks like the children in the Joe McGarrity family photos.
If anyone knows about any of this please contact me at [email protected].
Thank you
