Daughter of John Kenneally & Mary O'Hair, both of Ireland.

Known to all as "Kate" or "Katie". She emigrated to U.S. in either 1866 or 1868 @ about 16 years of age, possibly as an indentured servant. She worked as a maid for a New York family & met Maximilian, the coachman for the same family. She was married to Maximilian Edward Grodzki in Queens, New York in 1869 at age 17.

She suffered from asthma & was buried in Calvary Cemetery, Evanston, IL with granddaughter Mary Smith 2 yr. old in Single Grave.

Her maiden name had also been spelled "Kinnery" & "Kileeley", and the 1880 Census shows her age as 36 (b.1844), but we know from the death certificate that she was actually born in 1852 and her maiden name was Kenneally, of Irish descent. Her son, an undertaker, was the informant on the death certificate.

Catherine is reported to have left one sister, Mary, in Ireland and another is said to have emigrated to Australia. There is yet no evidence of this emigration.

The County of Clare, a maritime county of the province of MUNSTER, bounded on the east and south by Lough Derg and the river Shannon, which successively separate it from the counties of Tipperary, Limerick, and Kerry; on the west by the Atlantic Ocean and on the north-west by Galway Bay.....

The Town of Carrigaholt is on the north shore of the estuary of the River Shannon, about half way to the tip of the peninsular that guards the Shannon on the north. Note that on the Griffith's CD the same location is listed as: "Rinemackaderrig Village of Carrigaholt", still in the Parish of Moyarta.
