search--Hazel Moriarty Alkire
Hi--
I'm trying to track down my maternal grandmother's family. Her name was Hazel Moriarty, born c. 1893 in SD or IA, probably.Her father was (I think) Joseph Michael, who came from Ireland as a teenager.I don't know the name of his wife, but I know they lived in a sod house in South Dakota early in their marriage.
Grandma married Miles Balser Alkire in 1918 and they lived in Davenport IA from...when my mother was a little girl, I think.She was Dorothy Gladys Alkire (Gannett), born 1922.
Grandma's siblings included Mabel (nickname "Bob," husband Dean), who lived in Des Moines; Laury (Laurence, I think)who lived in Davenport; Jess, who lived in Chicago and died during the 30's, I think; and Clint, who was the black sheep of the family.There were other siblings whose names I can't recall.
Any help or hints would be appreciated.
