I am looking for the decendents of Gerald Daulton O'Grady, 54 West 130th, who married Mary Braun, 156 West 141 St.whoes father was Anton and mother Matilda Braun. Mary died in 1972. Gerald's sister was Eileen O'Grady who was my grandmother. She was into acting and gave her daughter, Dorothy, born 1907, up to the NY Foundling Hospital. Eileen's father, Mr. O'Grady of Simpsons Crawford & Simpsons Drygoods store in Manhattan. He refused to help the social worker locate his daughter and was unaware that he had a grandaughter Dorothy who was put on board the Orphan Train bound for east Texas, never to know her family.I did get her original birth certificate and found that Eileen O'Grady was now Eileen Wilson. I beleive that this Gearld O'Grady was one of her brothers along with John, Harry & Joseph O'Grady. I truly beleive this is my missing family.
