Admiral Carey Family Ancestry

Admiral Carey spent over 20 years of research on his family ancestry. His original goal was to try to go back to his Great Grandparents in both his Paternal Lines of Carey and Ryan and his Maternal Lines of Harrison and McGregor. In fact, he got further back than that in all these lines and has visited his homeland areas in Ireland, Scotland, Canada, and both New York and Wisconsin in the USA. His secondary mission was to leave an easily accessible record of the family history database he compiled so that all of his descendents, relatives, and anyone else researching his family or their history would have a reasonably accurate record available that would be several magnitudes and more than he had when he began this quest, and thus save them years of effort and frustration in learning just "who they are and where they came from". Another goal was to ensure his children and grandchildren would never have to spend the tremendous amounts of time and labor and money that he did to determine their ancestral heritage. As of 2007, he declared this project "completed", at least to the degree that he felt he could ever approach completion, and while he still adds to and changes the database when errors are discovered or additional ancestral lines are refined, he has now moved on to focus on his foundation, The Admiral James J. Carey Foundation, which may be viewed at www.AdmiralCareyFoundation.org The URL for the internet family history database on the Admiral's ancestral lines is: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=radmcarey_1&I11.x=33&I11.y=9
