Hi. I'd love some help to find out what happened to my grand uncle Michael Cahalane please.
Michael was born 20 Nov 1887, in Drishanebeg, Skibbereen, Co.Cork. His parents were Jeremiah Cahalane & Catherine (Kate)Collins. His siblings were John, Patrick,Jeremiah, Cornelius, William & Kate.
He went to the USA 11th May 1911 on board the "Ivernia" to his brother Patrick. In 1914, his brother William travelled to the USA to Michael and the address at that time was 19 Largton Street, Roxbury, Ma. After that my trail runs cold. Some siblings remained "Cahalane" while two others were "Callahan" so i'm not sure which Michael was. Family history says he worked in San Francisco, as well as Boston. He was due tomeet up and travel back to Ireland with his brother Patrick around 1924, but he never showed and the mystery began. As my dad is elderly now, I would love to try and find out what happened to his uncle and give some closure to this story.
I'm attaching a photo of Michael (seated) and his younger brother William (Sgt William Callahan, 308th Infantry,Company E,77th Battalliion, died Dec 1922 and buried in New Calvary ?? Cemetery, Roxbury Ma).
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Cath
