I am interested in finding information about any FARRELLs living in or
around Hoboken, NJ, from the turn of this century to the present.

My paternal grandmother, Grace Claire Mayston BERGDAHL (b. 1892? 1896?,
Hoboken, NJ) had a mother whose maiden name was FARRELL. Due to
unreliable records, we know nothing about my great-grandmother FARRELL,
other than the fact that she died young, was married to a Protestant
Englishman named MAYSTON, was of Irish descent, and was Roman Catholic.

I also am trying to find information about James FARRELL (born May 30,
1873, died March, 1963 in New Jersey). Specifically, I want to know if
he is my paternal grandmother's uncle James, who, along with an aunt
Mabel (May?) FARRELL, raised my grandmother Grace and her sister
Bessie. Grace's uncle James was involved in the NJ Knights of Columbus
during the 1930's-50's. Is this the same man? Does anyone out there
know anything about him, or about my great-grandmother FARRELL?

I appreciate any and all help.
