I’m thinking this could possibly be my grandfather William's Uncle / my Great Grandfather Patrick's  brother "Thomas" and his cousins.. I found the info below HERE
I’m thinking this because Leo Costello the son of, Patrick Costello (my grandfather Williams brother) and Patrick are buried at the same cemetery in Ionia..The names all being so close to what our Great Grandfather named his kids could just be coincidental or maybe we're connected. KATE ( Howard) Eliza (Finn) ( both Grandpa’s sisters) Thomas and William.. coincidence? maybe, maybe not... Maybe not brothers maybe cousins but if we can find the link to connect these two ..it leads us to Ireland.. 

Thomas below is born in 1824 our Grandfather Patrick was born in 1831 so the timing works for brothers but that still a lot of speculation
