Said she sent her the Family Register of the Raidy family: "A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR ANCESTORS, written by memory of stories related by father and mother, sent to Kathy by an Aunt, who did not sign history or date it. Said she sent her the Family Register of the RAIDY family.
Grandfather: Michael Raidy, the third child of twelve children, born in Co. Kerry, Ireland. The family came to the USA when he was quite a young boy and settled at Crown Point, N.Y., not far from Platsburg, where more of the children were born. Moved to New Foundout, Canada (abt 12-15 miles from where we live), where his younger brothers and sisters were born. All of them are dead now. The only ones I knew personally were Aunt JoHannah, Uncle Tim, Uncle Jerry (Dr. O'Ready) and Aunt Mary and Uncle Pat.
Uncle Tim's family lived near Crown Point. He had one son and four daughters. They visited us years ago when we were children but I have lost track of them.
Aunt JoHannah md Bernard O'Connor and they lived about 12 miles from us in Canada. I think there were 12 children in their family.... The youngest son, Bernard, lives in the old home, and has three children (boy in Army, one at home, a dau, trained nurse, in Montreal Hosp).
Aunt Mary md Bill Cahilll and they lived in Constable, about 8 miles from us. They had 4 sons: Will, John, George & Elmer, 1 dau Lillian (md Elmer Brady & lives nr Platsburg).
Uncle Pat's family I knew best of all. Three children: Mary (Mae), Tom and Arthur (Artie). They lived in N. Adams, Mass & came to visit us for summer hollidays. Mae & I started to teach school about the same time. I taught 11 yrs before I was md. Mae never md and taught until she died, about 5 years ago. Artie was your mother's special chum-his wife says she never could of got him if Margaret (your mother) had not been his cousin. Artie and Tom both live in New York City. Artie has 2 sons, Art Jr & Heaton, both md & Art Jr has 3 children. Heaton md last June.
Uncle Jerry, when a young man, started to study for the priesthood but while at college met and fell in love with with a very beautiful girl, Rose Crilly. He transferred his studies from theology to Medicine and fraduated an MD instead of a Priest. He md Aunt Rose, went west and settle in Millbank S.D, where he practiced until his death, some 30 years ago. They had 4 children: Henry, Blanche, Will & (I think) Katharine. It's a good many yrs since I have heard anything of them. Uncle Jerry wrote his name Dr. O'Ready, & in the west he used his middle name James instead of Jerry... Blanche md a Mr. Otto, Henry in grocery business, Will served overseas in last war.

Grandfather Barry had 5 bros, who came with their families before he came and were all settled within a radius of 10-15 miles of each other. After a short stay among his bros, Grandfather bought the farm where your mother was born and your Uncle Johnnie Raidy now lives. His bros helped him clear the land and build a log house and there he settled with his family. They bought a yoke of oxen, cleared the land and cultivated the soil - changed later to horses and from forest land to cultivated fields and green pastures and meadows.
