Hello and greetings from the South of Boston, Massachusetts!
My great great grandfather, John Peter Kearney (1859-1922) was born in St. Johns, Newfoundland. His father, Captain James John Kearney (b. in Ireland 1826-1869) married Mary A. Coady (b. NF 1828-1906 d. of Capt William Coady). James was lost at sea. Mary Coady Kearney's gravestone in Massachusetts has a memorial to James, stating he was 'lost at sea, Oct 1869'. A few years after James was lost, Mary came to the Boston area with her children. John Peter Kearney's son James (born in Boston) is my great grand, his daughter Mildred Kearney Ward is my paternal grandmother.
I am looking for any information about my family in the Newfoundland area.
Happy searching to all!
K. Ward
