My Mom was Margaret Carroll O'Rafferty. Said to have been born in Brooklyn, NY 15 Jan 1921. She was said to have 8 brothers & she was the only girl. Her Mothers name was Teresa Carroll & I know nothing else. She passed away in 1965 & I am still after more than 40 years trying to find out anything. Sending in searches for birth records to the State of NY has been a dead end. No one with that name was born in NY between 1916 & 1926. I know that she was catholic. I know that she had a brother name Michael who went by Mickey. If anyone has any information, please contact me. I have never stopped searching. Have a blessed holiday.
