My gggrandfather, Michael Tormey, died on Jan 22 1908 in Brooklyn. He was married to Ellen Prendergast or Pendergass and had 8 children, including my great-grandmother, Mary (married Elmer Gorry). According to the 1900 US Census, Michael was born in March 1864 in Ireland and his year of immigration was around 1884. According to my father, he was born in Williamstown, County Galway, which I have not verified. I have his father as Timothy Tormey and Ann, both born in Ireland. Ann, predeceased by Timothy, died in Brooklyn on May 22, 1902. Her death certificate has her year of immigration as around 1885. I also have three sons in addition to Michael listed for Timothy and Ann - James J., born 1860(married to Mary Anne Sweeney and 4 kids Catherine, Timothy, Anna, and Loretta; John, born 1862; and Timothy. I have verified only the existence of James J. and his family, but not his relation to Michael or the existence of his other brothers, and I am looking for more information on Timothy and Ann, the parents, if there's any out there. Thanks in advance! Mary
