• Notes

  Letter from Virginia M. Usher to Mary Helen McDonough O'Malley [page 1] St. Louis, Mo Sunday, March 24, 1991 Dear Mary Ellen, First of all my apologies for the delay in answering your letter. I have a serious eye problem and my central vision is effected and I can no longer read. I can write but cant read back what I wrote so please forgive me for any errors. Now for any help I could give you on Michael McDonough - I am sorry to say we know nothing about him. [page 2] years and years ago my mother mentioned a brother Michael, and that is all she said about him. When asked, her reply was always - "I have nothing to say." The subject was dropped and we never heard of him again. Our cousins knew nothing of him either. You said your mother married him in 1918. Was that the last time you heard of him? [page 3] I am so sorry I cannot help you if he was your father then we of course would be your cousin. I do wish with all my heart that I could throw a little light on this mystery but there are no answers here. Good luck in your search and God bless you. Our prayers are with you. Virginia Usher 4249 Michigan Ave Apt 608 St. Louis, Mo 63111 [page 4] An after thought. Have you tried contacting the family in Ireland. I don't know who is left over there but the address is -- McDonough Family Bally Conlaught Headford County Galway Ireland
