MARGEYs to San Francisco, CA

[DoireM]

No don't apologise, always great to hear from cousins.  So sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing.  I would be delighted to share Margey information with you.  I can go back two generation's from your Michael.  Still Margeys''s living in the ancestral parish in Donegal, Ireland  Have you done a DNA test?

I did through myAncestry since that’s the site I’ve used since forever on the digital copy of my tree.

I got 62.4% North and West European (lots of German, especially on my fathers side) and 37.6% Irish Scottish and Welsh. I’ve got a Welsh Surname.

I was sad I didn’t get anything random on the DNA test since I already knew I was pretty German and Irish.

I have attached a picture of Michael Margey Grave marker.  I had though his brother Rodger Margey was buried in the family plot, but reading the other post above, it maybe James' son Rodger buried in the family plot since his death may have been unexpected and the plot was already established for Michael's wife Alice.  Rodger death is noted 1940 at the top of stone; and that matched the date of James son's death. Michael Margey was my Great Grandfather. If anyone knows the death of Michael's brother Rodger, it may solve the question.

James Margey died in 1939. His obit mentions his brother Michael and brother "the late Roger Margey". It appears Roger died prior to 1939.
