Runey/Karl Home Page

Researching information on Edward and John Runey (Rooney), brothers that immigrated to the Boston/Somerville area c. 1870. Thier parents were John Runey and Mary Bresnehan, possibly from Cork or Kerry. We know that a son of Edward moved to New York and had a son on the New York Police Department. My family is descended another son of Edward.
Also searching anscestors of the Karl Family of Brooklyn. Henry Karl and Madeline Imhoff are both believed to have been from Bavaria. Their son, John and wife Margaret Heuther, were both born in Brooklyn and lived on Marion Street.
The Biegan Family (parents Joseph and Catherine) of Dobbs Ferry, NY immigrated from Germany before 1849. Daughter, Magdelena Petermann, ran the Dobbs Ferry Hotel. Her brother, Peter, owned the brewery.
Willing to share information.
