My Grandfather's brother was Thomas Cusick. He came to Nebraska from Pennsylvania but he was born in County Mayo Ireland. He was born about 1861.
He was still living on the 1930 Federal Census. He was living in Omaha. He was married twice. His second wife was Rainy Ellen Cusick. I'm looking for any family members. I can share family information with them.

son Thomas-he was 8 months old in 1880 born in Nebraska.
Any help with this family would be greatly appreciated.
