First DNA Match to a Probable Kane Connection

In the last year, I had an ah-ha moment when I realized one of my DNA matches, GB,  might actually connect to Bridget Kane's line.  Most of our common matches could connect to Patrick McQuaid and Bridget Kane and/or the Kane surname.  I noticed his line had settled in Jersey City, New Jersey.  This was great because I can research NJ!

Still trying to make the final connection but here are some things I learned along the way. I started with GB's tree. 

Doing a little digging uncovered a transcribed marriage record for Patrick Kane and Mary Quinn that lists their parents.  What a coincidence, Bridget's father's name is Patrick also.

Here is Patrick and Mary in the 1900 census.  They are living with their 4 children.  Patrick Kane is a  freight handler. They are living at 167 8th Street in Jersey City, NJ.

Sometime between the 1900 US Federal Census and the publishing of the 1902 Jersey City Directory's the family moves to 199 Fourteenth Street. There are many Patrick Kanes but none listed for 8th Street in 1902.

1905 NJ State Census, this family has several changes.  Patrick dies, Catherine Kane and Edward Turner marry and Edward is now considered the head of household.

1905 NJ State Census

The transcription for Mary Kane's entry is:

She is listed as widowed, her address is 199 Fourteenth Street.

Based on that census record,  I was able to come to the conclusion that Patrick Kane passed in June of 1903.  Here is his death certificate:

Further investigating lead me to the cemetery records from the Archdioceses of Newark.  Patrick was buried at Holy Name Cemetery in Jersey City on July 3, 1903 which happens to align with the date at the top of his death certificate.  He died sometime in June 1903 as he was found in the water on June 30, 1903.  He is buried in the same plot that his wife and two of his sons are buried.

My recent obsession with digitized newspapers lead me to this article:

July 3, 1903 Jersey Journal

The names do not 100% align.  The daughter's name was Catherine and the wife is Mary. Easy to confuse, the address however is spot on and aligns with the 1905 Census.

Looking at my match to GB, we share 24 cm's across 3 segments.  Ancestry puts us in a range of 4th - 6th cousins.  If I plug his Patrick Kane in as Bridget's brother, he comes in at a 4th Cousin once removed.  I think this to be probable as each have shown their father's to be named Patrick Kane.  I have not found a record for Bridget with her mother listed.  Further evidence will be needed to come to that conclusion.  I will be looking for further evidence to solidify this connection.  Maybe another DNA match down the road will lead us to their hometown in Ireland.
