Life
Our family tree lists Michael McGreevy as a son of Peter McGreevy and Mary Ann Hickey, born in 1900. No original record in this archive confirms his birth, parents, residence, work, marriage, or death. A separate source names a Michael McGreevy born in 1892 and dead in 1966, but its dates do not match the details recorded here and this archive does not connect that man to the family.
How we know this: These details are recorded here without supporting documents; the only other located Michael McGreevy has different dates and is not identified as this person. [1][2]

- [MERGED, 8 August 2026] Two records for one man, differing only by a letter — McGreevy and McGreevey — both sons of Peter McGreevy and Mary Ann Hickey, both born about 1900. The spelling with the extra 'e' is kept as a variant; his father is recorded as McGreevy and that is the form used here.
