MY O'Malley's
I always knew this would be my last entry for my Ireland blog-something about MY O'Malley's. In my never-ending search for identity, I turn first and last to my father, whose last name I bear- Charles Gerald O'Malley. He never went by that name, though Charles Gerald O'Malley (Jerry, or big Jer) gave that same name to his son, Charles Gerald O'Malley (Jerry, or little Jer)). And his son gave the same name to his son, Charles Gerald O'Malley (CG). My dad had a license plate celebrating that fact, "CGO3". He was very proud of that. My father was named after his father, Charles O'Malley (Charlie?). I don't know what he went by because we never met him. My search for my Irish roots begins with him. Though my dad would have been mildly interested in finding info on his Irish ancestry, he would have much preferred learning something about his biological father. In his drunken stupor, he often mumble, Why did he leave me...
