On the other side of my father's maternal side would be his grandmother's paternal family: Toomey's.  Well that is all that I officially know of them as of right now.  I can only go back to my great great grandparents for this line which would be Peter and Anastasia Toomey.

Their son Lawrence is my great grandfather.  I have no clue right now how them came to America or even where they are from.  Depending on census records it goes from England to Ireland each record.    Below is the information that I have been able to gather so far in the hopes that someone else might have a better idea of where to focus my research to make the leap from Scranton, PA to England or Ireland.
