Greetings Connie!

THANK YOU for posting the information! Never assume.... because I'm sure there are others like me who aren't as proficient in searching as you lol. I must be missing something because I missed that information (or never saw it) with regards to the actual batch numbers etc. even when looking in the ohio birth, deaths and christening.

I did however have most of the information you posted as I have death cert's for Anna and John. I was fortunate to live in the Willoughby (outside Cleveland) area for many years.

Regarding the date difference for John; I think whoever gave the information on the 1920 census just didn't know the right information.

I believe strongly that John's birth date is 5-13-1866 because I know he was several years older than anna, not the 1873 birth date making him just one year older. To prove this I use his original death certificate as Anna was the informant. A good assumption?

The surprising and new information you provided is Anna E. Broderick, Birth Date: 20 Mar 1907.
Anna E has never shown up in our family's history. There IS however Helen Anna Broderick with the exact same birth date, Baptized 7 April 1907 at Immaculate Conception Church, Willoughby, Ohio. I called the church and there is no indication of Anna E so I am not sure why the name change but, it happens lol.

Yes, indeed her name was Morrisroe, but not usually separated Morris Roe but, Thank You for the suggestion of the name variation.

So, now I continue to track them backwards from Erie county to their immigration place and then back to Ballaghaderreen.

You would think it'd be easier to track two kids, John immigrated alone (1884) at age 12 and Anna who was also said to be alone 16 when she came over 1889.
