Tracing the Kerr Family Line

This blog is dedicated to tracing the genealogy of the Kerr (Karr) family line. The farthest I have been able to trace the line, thus far, is to Thomas Kerr and Ann Clarke. However, the information I have is on his son, Thomas. Other than Thomas and Ann being his parents, I have no other information.

The Third Child and Eldest Daughter of William and Margaret Karr: Margaret Mary

Margaret Mary Karr was born on 26 May 1952. It is unclear if she was born at Holy Cross Hospital like her two older brothers or was the first to be born at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, Illinois. I assume the latter instead of the former. We moved from the home around 78th & May to our home on 85th Street in 1952. She is the first daughter and the princess of the family. Peggy could do no wrong in dad's eyes until she sprayed mace in high school.

Peggy married Jerome Elsholz and they had 2 children: Charles and Emily. They spent sometime in Chicago, but ended up moving to Milwaukee.
