Thomas Hughie Culbertson was my maternal Grandfather. I do not remember much of him as I was 3 years old when he passed. I wish I knew more about his life in Ireland. I have been fortunate to visit his birth place in Ballymoney. Attached is a photo, taken in Queens Park, of Tom and his wife Daisy with their granddaughter Kerrie, my older sister taken circa 1949. Kerrie is the first of 6 children born to Elizabeth Culbertson, who is the first born daughter of Tom and Daisy. Elizabeth married Robert Thomas Tucker in 1946.
