I know it has seemed like forever since I have posted, but I have finally had a major breakthrough that I was just so excited about that I had to blog. I stumbled across a death record identifying the mother of Ellen McDermott Carroll and confirming a connection between the McDermott family and the Cummiskeys. It was so very exciting.
The second breakthrough came not even ten minutes later when I found an old article mentioning Francis McDermot (sic) of Albany township was crushed to death by a falling tree. It was known he died, but not where, when, or how. This tiny snippet answered all of the above questions.
Today was a good day.
