Patrick Casey

I received an e-mail from James Kelly who wrote the following:
"Hi Colette,
I actually commented on a photo of the Casey boys at 515 168th Street a few days ago. My brother looks pretty much exactly like Charles Casey – the one sitting with “Pink”.   My grandfather’s mother was Emma Casey (daughter of Patrick Casey b1857 – Michael’s little brother.)

I know it’s a long shot, but do you have any documentation or photos of Patrick or his children?   Hope you are well and thank you!
Jim"

He included a picture of his grandfather the 6th child of Eugene Kelly and Emma Casey (Joseph Kelly)  for us. He looks a lot like Charles Casey.



We have found another cousin! Thank you Jim.
