Sorry left out that my grandfather Samuel B. Conkey (later MacConkey) lived in Buffalo, New York until 1950.

My great grandfather Samuel Conkey was born in 1876 in Ireland and migrated to Dayton Ward 10, Montgomery, Ohio in 1881.  According to the 1910 census he was married to Hettie and had children Samuel B. (my grandfather born 1901) and daughter Rhoda born 1909.  The 1930 census shows that he was married to Thalia Learman and the last name is still Conkey.  When my mother was born in 1931, Mac was handwritten onto her birth certificate.  We were always told that Samuel Conkey came from Scotland and not Ireland.  I am really confused if anyone can help.
