I am looking for the biological father of my grandfather Albert Gallagher. It is believed his biological father's last name is Neece probably from Lima, Ohio. My grandfather's mother's name is Mary Corrigan. She married John Gallagher but I can't find a birth certificate for my grandfather or a marriage record for Mary Corrigan. They lived in Barberton, Ohio. My grandfather was born in 1882 and once reported he was born in Indiana.

I’m not related to any member of this family.

1930 is the last available census at this time.



OHIO Vital Records -
Ohio law established the Bureau of Vital Statistics on December 20, 1908. On that date, the mandatory registration of birth and death certificates occurred. Since that time, all birth and death certificates have been registered through our office.

This is why you can't find a birth certificate for Albert.

1930, 1920, 1910 - Albert Gallagher is not listed in OH

When & where did Albert die???

When & where did Mary die??

Need 1st names + DOB's + birthplaces for all children.

Hello thomasker2- I am working MaureenClark99 to find Albert Neece Gallagher birth information.

1910 - Lived in Norton, Summit, Ohio - He is listed as Bert Gallagher on census
1920 - I think they lived in Canton - City directories have them in Canton the year before and after.
1930 - Lived in Canton, Stark, Ohio - He is listed as Barney Galliger. Barney was his middle name.

Albert died in Stark Canton, Ohio - 1 Jul 1965. We think he was born 22 Sept 1882 in Lima, Ohio
His mother Mary died 5 Jul 1952 in Barberton, Summit, Ohio

Albert's children:
Helen - list on Summit county birth records as Hilda Neece born 18 Oct 1908
Ella - 13 Dec 1910- Akron, Ohio
Leo - 26 Jun 1914- Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
Robert - about 1915 - Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
Carl - 1917 - Canton, Ohio
Paul - 25 Oct 1919 - Canton, Ohio
Fred - 16 Aug 1921


Anything you can do to help us would be greatly appreciated, We have hit a brick wall. Thank you!

OH did not issue birth certs at the time of Bert's birth.
Order his death cert. from the county of death clerks office. His DOB + parents names should be listed.
