Farrell/Clinton,IA - 1909/28

FARRELL

My father's name is: Lauren Edward Farrell. He was born in August of 1909 (I believe in Clinton) and graduated from Clinton High School on 31 May 1928 (I have his diploma). I know that he had a brother named Eugene (Gene) and a sister who died in her youth of fever. I believe his mother's maiden name was either Hennessey or O'Hennessey. The family was Roman Catholic. After high school, my father attended Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, Illinois and graduated in 1931/2. In College, he met Ogretta Berg of Chicago whom he married in Louisville, Ky in 1941 (I have their marriage license). I came along in 1944 (in Louisville) while my dad was in the Pacific in WWII). My family lived in New Orleans, Louisiana and Ocean Springs, Mississippi beginning in 1946/47. My only brother, Jon Mark Farrell, was born in New Orleans on March 26, 1948. My father died in November of 1966, my mother in January of 1995 at 83 years and my brother in May of 1995 at 48 years.

I am interested to know my grandfather's and grandmother's names and any information about this Farrell family who was living in Clinton during the time frame of 1909 - 1929.

My daughter and I are trying to piece together my father's family history. Any assitance or leads to follow would be greatly appreciated.

My full name is Dennis Michael Farrell. I am 58 years old and presently living in Ankara, Turkey.
