My grandfather was Patrick F. Twohig, born in Cork Nov. 12, 1904. He came to NY aboard the Carmania in 1925. According to the ship's manifest he was bound for San Francisco but stayed in New Jersey instead. Supposedly he told my father he was supposed to go on to Australia where he had relatives, but he never spoke their names.

His father was James Twohig, whom I think was born around 1871 in Macroom. His mother was (I think) Elizabeth (or Lizzy) (O)'Callaghan, born around 1879 in Blarney.

Anyone with any additional information or connections please let me know

Thanks
