I would like to contact descendants of Daniel Seery (born in Dublin Ireland) who lived at one time at East Islip on Long Island but passed away some years ago. He was married to an English lady called Agnes (?) who predeceased him. Before retiring he worked for a paint company for many years. I think they had 4/5 children.
Similarly. I would like to contact descendants of Walter Seery (born in Dublin Ireland) who also emigrated to Canada. He lived in Montreal and worked all his working life for a brewery initially as a blacksmith and later did general metalwork and maintenance. He was married to a lady called Corinne (?) and they had four/five children.
-
When did they immigrate ? Have you got the birth years ?
Bear in mind some of those children will still be living - it is RootsChat policy not to name living people.

Canada Voters List 1968 shows A Walter Seery (maintainance) and Mme Corinne Seery (vendeuse) - residing Rue St George Longueuil Montreal.
In 1957 Walter was a millwright at that same address.

Hi Jessica
My mother Kathleen Connolly (nee Seery) was a sister of both Walter (Senior) married to Corrinne and Dan Seery married to Agnes. If you fulfill the necessary criteria of posting to Roots Chat we can then communicate by personal e-mail. I will be happy to assist you in any way I can with your family research. I knew personally both Walter & Dan as they were my uncles. As you probably know, the original Seery family Mary Ann (nee Brady, the mother) was a long tailed family.With about 8 children if memory serves me right...all passed away. There's plenty of stories waiting to be told. Shiraz .

Wow this is honestly amazing, I've read a bit about Kathleen in some of Walter Seery Sr.'s documents! I'll be completing the requirements for Roots Chat and will message you shortly!

Hi Jessica
You're nearly there with your postings, one more contribution and we can e-mail privately. As I mentioned the Seery clan is long-tailed and you will have some fun making your family tree from scratch. How well did you know your grandfather Walter? Did you ever meet Dan or any of his family?
I'm excited at the prospects of helping you set off on your voyage of discovery. keep in touch. Shiraz :
