Oh my gosh! I would love to get hold of you. Please drop me an email - jcharb8@msn.com

I've pasted the Patrick Mcmackin family below that i am researching. I am searching the Daniel & Catherine McMackin line who came from ireland, lived in PA in 1850 (along with Patrick), then to Ohio and finally to Iowa by 1870. When we found this ship manifest, we thought - oh my gosh, could Patrick be Daniels father??

Looking forward to hearing from you (and putting you in touch with a friend who is direct line of the Daniel/Catherine and son John's line)

(we also have a post from the Boston Pilot in 1857, where a brother Dennis is looking for his brother Daniel McMackin who had immigrated to Iowa (which matches our guy). So we're wondering if there is a Dennis McMackin in the family as well.
