Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in USA

My great grandparents Daniel Curtin (1825-1886) and Catherine Collins (1832-1883) immigrated from County Limerick.

Catherine may have been from Abbeyfeale.  Her parents were Thomas P. Collins Sr. (1790-1872) and Mary Brennan (?) (1790-?).  Her siblings were Ellen M. Collins (1828-1915), Thomas P. Collins Jr. (1828-1874), and William P. Collins (1833-1916).  Thomas Sr. and all the children immigrated and all became residents of Washington, DC.

I believe Catherine and Daniel Curtin married in Virginia in 1854 but lived and raised their family in Washington, DC.  I am not sure of Daniel's point of origin in Ireland or if they knew each other in Ireland.

I am searching for more information about Catherine and Daniel's lives in Ireland before immigration.

    Irish press warns against Jamaican Indentured Servitude

    <p>The theme was always the same: the pestilential climate of the island, the reduction of poor emigrants to slaves, the severity and cruelty of the planters (and planter-dominated Assembly clinging to every vestige of oppression) and, of course, the absence of priests and chapels.</p>

    Ireland beats Italy at USA94 World Cup

    <p>On this day the Giants Stadium at New Jersey was a sea of Irish tricolours and the scene of great jubilation as Ireland's soccer team beat Italy for the first time. Italy was a favourite to win the tournament and it was expected that they "would play Ireland off the pitch". For Ireland, it was the most glorious outcome imaginable.</p>
