May 18
Anna Claire Shaughnessy [1008] (1920-2009) my second cousin once removed, was born on this date in 1920 in The Dalles, Wasco, Oregon. Her parents were Simon Shaughnessy [495] and Edna Melvina Shaw [838]. Anna was married first to Calvin L. Crill [5664] (1918-1967) and they had two children. She later married Anthony Zemaitis [1105] (1919-1973).

May 19
Gerald Keough [268] (1916- 2003) my second cousin once removed, was born on this date in 1916 in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. His parents were James Keough [236] and Elizabeth Heaney [238]. Gerald married Ethel Bernadette O'Neil [269] (1925-1997) and they had five children.

May 21
Patrick Keough [239] (1880-unknown) my first cousin once removed, was born on this date in 1880 in Plate Cove East, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland. His parents were Andrew Keough [172] and Mary Furlong [184]. Patrick served in the military and left Newfoundland, settling in the United States. Patrick is one of those Keoughs I need to find out more about - where in the United States did he live, did he marry and have a family, and where did he end up, are just some of my questions. I need to add Patrick to my to-do list (which keeps getting longer!).

Colleen June Wilcox [7] (1928-1982) my aunt by marriage, was born on this date in 1928 in Saint Paul, Ramsey, Minnesota. Her parents were Seley Alvin Wilcox [37] and Neva Delores Rood [38]. Connie together with her two sisters were always referred to as "the Wilcox girls." She married my uncle Andrew Gordon Keough [6] (1926-1972) in 1946 in Seattle, King, Washington. Connie and Gordon had eight children, one of whom died within hours of his birth. Our Aunt Connie was beautiful, funny, clever and quite talented. She was an excellent seamstress/tailoress with an eye for high fashion and the ability to recreate those clothes on a budget. She was a terrific dancer, and had an energetic personality. It was always a treat to visit and play with our cousins and when we all went to my grandfather's home for birthdays or holidays - it was a very full and noisy house.

May 23
Mary Loretto Kelley [1640] (1882-1966) my great-great aunt by marriage, was born on this date in 1882 in Tecumseh, Johnson, Nebraska. Her parents were William Arthur Kelley [1630] and Julia Agnes Kelly [1631]. She and my great-great uncle David Francis Murphy [476] (1880-1952) were married in 1906 in Tecumseh, Johnson, Nebraska. Mary and David had two daughters. They farmed first in O'Neill and later in Tecumseh.  I have one of their daughters to thank for an assist with my family history as she worked on a collection of pedigrees, memories and photos of the various branches of the Murphy family that was given to family members including my father in the 1980s.

May 24 
Bridget Tracey [1387] (1895-1968) my second cousin twice removed, was born on this date in 1895 in Plate Cove East, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland. Her parents were James Tracey [1222] and Agnes Walsh [1223]. She married Bernard Keough [246] (1888-1957) (my first cousin twice removed - it's a small world) in 1916 in Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland. Bernard and Bridget has eleven children.

Keough Corner Anniversaries & Birthdays
Week of May 4 - 10

May 5
Joy Lafern Yount/Smith [1114] (1935-1991), was born on this day in 1935 in Elma, Grays Harbor, Washington. Joy was married to my second cousin once removed Daniel James Shaughnessy [1113] (1933-2000), the son of Charles Michael Shaughnessy [498] and Myrtle Maybelle Quigg [1109]. Daniel and Joy had four children. This was the week for finding that, for some extended family members, I need to spend some serious time doing research. There is conflicting information about Joy's surname and I have added a to-do to contact family members who can help fill in those blanks and recheck the 1940 US census.

May 8
Stanley Keith Bartlett [1183] (1914-1994) was born on this day in 1914 in British Columbia, Canada. Stanley was married to my first cousin once removed, Johnnee Marguerite Johnston [864] (1914-2004), the daughter of Duncan Johnston [862] and Honora Agnes Butler Murphy [206]. Stanley and Johnnee had two children.

May 9
Michael Joseph Davey [3059] (1899-1918), my first cousin twice removed, was born on this day in 1899. He graduated from high school in 1916 and listed his occupation as bank clerk on his draft registration form. Less than two months later in November 1918, he died at the age of nineteen. The gravestone lists him as a veteran and the son of Peter H. Davey [2989] and Katherine K. Murphy [995]. This is an area of research (my Nebraska Murphy-affiliated families) that I need to get back to and top on my list is to find out more about Michael's story (where and how he died is now a to-do on my research list).

May 10
My great grandparents Patrick Keough [159] (1859-1924) and Mary Driscoll [160] (1864-1915) were married on this day in 1887 in Plate Cove East, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland. Patrick's parents were James Keough [170] and Margaret Dooley [171]. Mary's parents were Dennis Driscoll [1564] and Ellen Kenny [1565]. Patrick and Mary had ten children, including my grandfather Andrew Francis Keough [30] (1892-1963).

Robert Anthony McMillan [876] (1923-2014), my first cousin once removed, was born on this day in 1923 in Seattle, King, Washington. His parents were Ronald J. McMillan [875] and Margaret Cecelia Murphy [208]. Robert is another one of those extended family members that I need to learn more about. This weekly meme is certainly giving me all sorts of to-dos to add to my research list.

How are you doing with your family history research? This calendar meme is showing me that I need to get back to my research - my extended family members are calling out for some attention!

If any of these names and/or places sound familiar, perhaps we share some common ancestors. Let's pool our knowledge and share our stories. I would enjoy hearing from you.

My second great grandparents, James Joseph Murphy [352] (1819-1882) and Ellen Kiley [353] (1834-1913), were married on this day in 1860 in Nebraska City, Otoe, Nebraska.

Do we share any family members? If so, I would enjoy hearing from you and sharing information. Until next week ...

This Week on My Family History Calendar

This Week on my Keough-Murphy Family History Calendar (or I need an idea to help me blog at least once a week!)

A few of the surnames and places to look for in this calendar
Image made at Wordle.net - thanks 

When trying to figure out how I could work on my family history while keeping up with my blogging, I happened to see Cheri Hudson Passey's weekly blogpost with her family history calendar. I asked how she put it together and she graciously gave me some tips. She also gave a shout out to Linda McCauley who had this idea last year and ran with it. Thanks to both of you and hopefully this project will keep me on track to post at least once a week.

I thought this week would be an easy one as I only have three birthdays on the calendar. Of course since we have lots of Murphys in our family (hence many opportunities for Murphy's Law to show up), I immediately noticed that I did not have some basic information for one of my people- I was missing the surname of the wife. I spent a pleasant couple of hours finding out about James Murphy's wife and her family (and got to take a trip through the online research guides for Danish research and some newspaper archives).

Without further ado, here is my first entry in the Keough-Murphy Family History Calendar.

April 14 –

James Allen Murphy [861] (1926-2001), my first cousin once removed was born in Seattle, Washington in April 1926. He was the son of James Joseph Murphy [205] (1888-1950) and Catherine Maud Allen [858] (1891-1968) and the husband of Julia Ann Fredericksen [1218] (1928-unknown). Jim and Julia had two children.

April 15 –

Bernard Keough [246] (1888-1957), my first cousin twice removed was born in Plate Cove East, Newfoundland and baptized in King’s Cove on 15 Apr 1888. He was the son of Andrew Keough [172] (1850-1934) and Mary Furlong [184] (1846-1913) and the husband of Bridget Tracey [1387] (1895-1968). Bernard and Bridget had eleven children. He is buried in Open Hall.

April 16 -

Catherine Mary Johnston [863] (1911-1964), my first cousin once removed was born in Vancouver, British Columbia in April 1911. She was the daughter of Duncan Johnston [862] (1879-1962) and Honora Agnes Butler Murphy [206] (1888-1967) and the wife of Hugh Anthony Hamilton [1215] (1912-1976). Kay and Hugh had two children.
