It's just not nice of our ancestors to hide from us, is it? I hope my list gives your research a little boost :) Good luck with your granddaughter's project.

My grandaughter ( age 1...Oh you darlin' woman!<br /><br />My grandaughter ( age 10) called me last week explaining that her class was doing a project on Irish immigrants and asked me if we had any Irish people in our family tree. I told her that yes, indeed they were MANY, many Irish people in our family tree. She then wanted ALL of the information. She also proceeded to tell me of the research that she had already done on how the Irish came to America in "nasty little boats", and how sad it was. I agreed on all points. But then came the stumper: WHERE did they come from? I sighed heavily. "Honey, I just don't know exactly. I'm trying hard to find them." To which she replied "But Dad said you knew EVERYTHING". I had to tell her that I only had proof on one individuals immigration. I had the name of the boat and the date and that was it. <br /><br />Now I've been seriously researching the Irish side for the past few months because I knew that my clues were few. The other side I flew back to 1516 England. My Irish, well I have them all in Massachusetts. And I do have some immigration dates. But exactly WHERE in Ireland they came from....no. <br /><br />Your list may give me the help I need. In the meantime if you happen across the O'Briens, Greenes, Morans, Morris, Garvey, Welch, McCarthy, Dolan folks who settled in and near Boston, Massachusetts please tell them I'm looking for them!Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028792789306927465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939752311253681195.post-80838147397308678382012-03-19T13:39:38.748-04:002012-03-19T13:39:38.748-04:00I haven't done much Irish research yet either,...I haven't done much Irish research yet either, but I hope to soon, and I just couldn't let all these great links and posts get away from me.
