Erie PA Tormeys"
actually they hail from Avoca, PA( Veil of Tears in Gaelic I was told) Elizabeth Tormey was married to my grand father William who I was named after. Census records for the late 1080's and early 1900's will show the Tormey family on McAlpine street. The Lampman famiy lived a few doors down. Joe Tormey moved to Pittsburg and then to Erie. You might also find some Studders and Smiles family names involved. I have a pic of William and Elizabeth somewhere in my collection. They are buried in St. Mary's Cemetary, Avoca, in an unmarked grave. Bill
