Looking to find Bernard Tracey, Norfolk, Massachusetts.

[Johnno1970]

I haven't yet found an answer, as to what became of Bernard Tracey, so my search still goes on. I do have 2 other questions though relating to this family which someone here may be able to help with. Maybe I should open a new thread for each question?

1. I am looking to locate Bernard's niece ^(*) Father Martin F Tracey and mother Violet Tracey. I don't know if she is still alive.

2. I'm looking for photos of Bernards brother, Edward Patrick Tracey as an adult. 1906-1975. Any recommendations of how I might go about this? His family don't seem to have any.

Thanks again in advance of any help or suggestions.
John.

Yes it would Sandra, thanks for that. No mention of Bernard in that, so maybe they knew he had passed by then.

Sandra, when you say that you can't see anything, do you mean newspaper reports?
The details you have for Martin are correct.

Death Notice or obit

The tree at familysearch says Martin and Violet had a daughter Maureen, born 1952, Brooklyn, who married Thomas Guinn. Maureen is said to have died 2014 in Sacramento, CA. Thomas died 2025.

I couldn't find an obituary, but others might have other places to look.

Is that the daughter you are looking for?
Is it the daughter that is listed on the 1950 census in Brooklyn with Martin and Violet? I haven't found anything on her.

Or is it another daughter?

By the way, I worked on a Curran family in Norwood, but don't have the information anymore so not much help. Were they from Galway, on the north side of Galway Bay, by any chance?

[Johnno1970]

@oldohiohome, I have all of Maureens details, thanks. The daughter I am looking for is the daughter that is listed on the 1950 census in Brooklyn with Martin and Violet, as you mentioned.

The Curran family were from Galway, yes. Mary Curran Tracey was my great grandmother.

ok.
Check your messages. Did that daughter marry, where and when, and to whom? Where do you know her to be last?
