Debbie Britt Hill — 11 Mar 2005 2:06:03 GMT

Francis McDermott

srteske1 — 20 Jun 2007 1:43:27 GMT

My six-great grandfather, Francis McDermott, came to New York sometime between 1720 and 1739. He was probably from Ireland, but he lived in a German community after coming to America. I don't know when he was born, what part of Ireland he was from, or who his parents were. Where could I find this information?

Thank you.

Irish Family Naming patterns for children???

Amy690 — 22 Mar 2005 5:54:05 GMT

I'm not sure this is the right forum to ask, but here goes anyway...
I have Irish Brothers Thomas & William, who both had big families in the early 1800's (11 each). The one thing I notice is they both have a son named James. It looks like William used family names when naming his children, not so much on Thomas' side. So I'm wondering if it a good bet that their father's name was James?

Daniel Feeney born circa 1784 Ireland died New York State

Carol Bain — 13 Apr 2006 1:55:02 GMT

My 3 X great grandfather, Daniel Feeney, was born in Ireland according to Census info. I have seen his wife's tombstone which states "Elizabeth wife of Daniel Feeney d. 28 Apr 1861 ae 77y 4 m" (meaning she was born 1784), so I am assuming that Daniel was born around then also. There is no marker for him. I have nothing to go on except the Census info. I don't know how to find his family information. Any help is most welcome.
Best Always,

Mid 1800 NYC born Irish

Lorraine Dewey Eachus — 13 Dec 2005 1:09:06 GMT

In the 1900 census my ggrandmother, Mary Ann GAFFNEY, reported she was born 2/1954 in CT. Her mother Susan's death certificate indicated spouse's name as Patrick. The family ended up in Clinton Co by 1883 in order for Mary Ann to marry my ggrandfather.
I have searched the census information in Connecticut for 1860, 1870 and 1880 with no success for this family; I additionally hired a professional genealogist to do further searching with no luck.
However, I found a family that fits the criteria - the father was Peter (not Patrick) and he and wife were in NYC near the Bowery area in 1840 and near River Street in 1850. In 1860 in Brooklyn. In 1870 also in Brooklyn the children are enumerated without their parents with the occupation next to Mary as "Keeps young alive". Her mother Susan is also in the same district working as a servant - father is not accounted. In 1880, the father is back but mother is still missing.
All their children were born in NYC or Brooklyn.
My question - were Irish immigrants so embarassed to be associated with New York City Irish - would they have lied about where they were born? Thanks for any input.

Irish Pilgrimmage to Gross-Ile, Quebec from Montreal

M Leduc — 7 Jul 2005 7:09:26 GMT

Hello Everyone,

The Annual Irish Pilgrimmage to Gross-Ile, Quebec, memorial sight to thousands of Irish emigrants who perished on the journey to Canada during the Great Famine, is taking place Saturday, August 6, 2005.

The event includes the luxury coach trip to Quebec City, a 45 min. ferry ride to the island of Gross-Ile, lots of Irish history, folklore and trivia and of course admission to the memorial site. The event will not only be a chance to pay hommage to those who lost their lives on the journey to the promised land, but in the true Irish tradition, one hell of a shin-dig as well!

The event is being organized by the Montreal chapter of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, a group that has been in existence since the middle-ages and whose modern purpose is to preserve the Irish culture and heritage in North America.

The group will meet in N.D.G. and leave EARLY on the morning of the 6th - 6:00 a.m. to be exact, so if you're not a morning person you had better be dedicated! The cost of the trip, including all that was mentioned above is $70.00 CAD. It is well worth every penny I assure you, and, all proceeds go to helping the AOH continue to be a helping and positive presence in not only the Irish community but all of Montreal. If you are interested, or for more information about the trip or the AOH please contact Victor Boyle (514) 928-7196 or INFO@AOH-MONTREAL.COM

looking for Dineen family

Elaine Billings — 6 Apr 2005 12:27:35 GMT

My great-grandfather, Patrick Dineen who was orginially from Ireland settled in NYC. Probably around 1888, he was baptised in the Parish of Ardfert and Agahdoe in 1867. His parents names were, Daniel Dineen and Catherine Riordan. They had five other children besides Patrick. Mary, born Nov 10 1870; Michael, born July 24 1872 he died, as the next child is also the same name.
Michael, born Dec17 1874; Daniel, born Sept 19 1877; and Daniel, born April 30 1880. I do not feel that Patrick was the only sibling to come to America, because when he died on Sept. 22,1961, there were a lot of Dineen relatives there, my mother said they were probably nieces and nephews of Patricks. His brothers / sisters children. His furneral took place at: A. Castka/Bellmore Funeral Home. He lived in Merrick at the time on Frankel Blvd. If anyone knows of this family please email me at: ebbb1147@aol.com. I am the daughter of Eleanor Dineen and she and her siblings are trying to find out more about the family as they are all in their 70's and 80's and not in good heath. Thank you for any information I receive about this family.
Sincerely,

Does anyone know of any works of fiction - historical novel or mystery - which are set in NY in the 1800s? My MULLANYS and GILMARTINS came over from Sligo during the famine, and I'm trying to get an idea of what life was like then.
Or anything set in Ireland during this period?
I live near a large research library (lucky me) so have seen quite a bit of written history from this era, but no fiction.

Hi listers,

I'm looking for descendants of my great uncle, Michael Hopkins who immigrated from Derrylahan (townland) Turlough (civil parish) Co. Mayo Ireland in 1900. Michael arrived via Ellis Island and went to live with his sister, Bridget Hopkins McCann, in Utica NY. Bridget was a widow at that time.

As far as I know only Margaret married and the man she married was Michael O'Gara. They had two children, Bernard and Robert. I don't have birthdates on Bernard and Robert.

1880 census at Mormon Library shows several John Britts born about 1880 in NYC.
John Britt born 1880 to Mike 44 and Elizabeth 38 Britt. Siblings Mary and Kate.
John F. Britt born 1876 to Patrick and Margaret in Brooklyn with siblings Margaret 12, Elizabeth 1.
John Britt born to Mike 34 and Mary 28 Britt in NYC with siblings Mary, Adela, John, Dennis and Thomas.
John Britt born 1878 and living with GRANDPARENTS Dennis and Margaret Britt in 19Ward NYC. I would check this one--as maybe the grandparents died? There were 3 children of Dennis and Margaret listed at that address--2 male 1 female--but it did not say if any where John's parents.
You can eliminate some of the families by tracing them to 1900 census. If they are on 1900 census they are not the family you want.

John Joseph Hanley "The Baron of Broadway"

Seeking info on this gentleman. Believe him to have made his welth in Manhattan as a bootlegger. Very popular, jovial and kind. Was told today of his particular occupation. he is the brother of my Great Great Grandmother, and I know nothing on him other that he came to the US young, and spread his wealth around in the family. He would make trips back and forth to Ireland and spread his wealth there also. In 1928, there were attempts to blackmail him according to an article written by Johnny Mee, and this was all taken care of by the Federal Court System in New York. Would love to find out if it is possible to see what this was all about. "The Baron of Broadway is a name that got "pined on him, and he took to it ...so it stayed.
