Grace, Are we sure Julia's last name is Blyle? That is a German name. I was wondering if we have any information on Her family and the O'Briens. As far as the censes..I found that Julia didn't die but was living and in the 1910 censes didn't have Joseph living with her. I have heard from O'brien side that he drank but I don't know for sure. I thought she died and gave the kids up but by the looks of the censes 1880 and 1910 that is not true. Joseph my g-grandfather was in the 1880 but not in the 1910 so he had to been given to the O'Brien's during that time. Any information please email my brother Dr. Tommy O'Brien at baccracr@aol.com
