Patrick Taggart and Mary Cunningham where my grandparents.  The best source of info for my grandmother's branch is http://burlingtonhistory.org/. You start with Peter who arrived in Dover WI in 1843. I'm a descendant of Peter's son John F.  My great-grandfather was John's son Alfonse.

My mother was Mary Taggart.  She was the daughter of Patrick and Mary (Cunningham) Taggart.  The Patrick Taggart you have living in Racine Wisconsin would be my grandfather's father.  My great grandmother passed from the flu around 1918 and my grandfather was raised by his aunt and uncle.  My mother was the oldest and was twins with her sister Patricia Taggart (Aunt Patsy).  My grandparents third child was Patrick (Uncle Pat).  Uncle Pat's first son was named Patrick as well.

One note: My grandfather, who was born in Cherry IL, had mentioned to me several times that some of his uncles where some of the few survivors of the 1909 Cherry Coal Mine fire in Cherry IL.  This was one of the largest mining disasters in US history.
