Hi, Can you give some specifics? Where did Michael live in the U.S.? What year did he marry and die?
Michael's parents emigrated--where were they livling in the U.S.? Did they have other children?
Do you know where in Clare they lived?

Please note that although the birth dates appear in the birth register, they are not always correct. If people registered a birth late, they had to pay a fine—so to avoid the fine they made the birth date later than it was.
