Anne,
I read your message regarding your g-grandmother,
Bridget Colo. My g-g-grandmother was Rosa (or Rose)
Colo. I'm trying to trace her family and not having
too much luck. She married William Brown and he was
Co. Westmeath. I know they lived for a time in Haverstraw,
NY which is where my g-grandmother, Anne Brown was born in 1854.
I know Rosa would have been the same generation level as your
g-grandmother Bridget. Is it possible they are from the same
family, or perhaps cousins? I'm assuming she was from Co. Westmeath
too, since her husband was. At some point they came to and settled
in Chicago. William Brown died in Chicago in 1894 at age of 68, Rosa was
still alive at that time. I'm trying to locate her death record for
more info. William and Rosa's children were: Rose, Nell, BRIDGET,
MARY, THOMAS, Kate and of course my g-grandmother Anne. Do you have
any other info on the Colo family from Co. Westmeath?
Patty
