My great-grandfather was Joseph Patrick Mooney. He was born May 1875 in Ireland. He arrived in the United States circa 1896 and was a citizen by Oct. 1901. He changed his last name to Cummings. I believe he had a sister named Rosie, and maybe a brother named Tom?  Not sure about his parents, but research leading to John and Mary? My Aunt Erby would write to Aunt Rose in Ireland.  It would mean the world to me if anyone had ANY information of my relatives
