My grandfather Matthew Albert or Albert Matthew McCallister or McAllister was born in NYC in Jan 1888 and seems to be a ghost. He appears in one census and a couple of directories in addition to his draft registration. Other than that, he is a ghost.
He married Eleanor (Elenore, Ellen) Reardon (Riordan) and they had at least two children, Mary and Arthur, There were two other children listed on the census, Elsie b 1920 and Herbert b 1914, but stories say they were Reardons given over because of the severe poverty of the families.
Anything sound familiar? Please email me at

Many blessings.
