Migrated to/Born in USA

Catherine Murphy, my great grandmother, was born in DooyeaghnyorCloonloughan Co. Sligo, today is in Co. Mayo. She settled in Youngstown, Ohio, USA. She married Patrick Rochford, who family was from Kilmoremoy  Parish in Co. Mayo, in Youngstown. I know my grandfather, Edward, born in 1896 traveled as a young boy (5 years old) back to Ireland.  He traveled with a "family friend", not his parents.  Surely this family friend was a relative? I'm assuming he went to Ireland to visit his grandparents who were still in Ireland? Don't really know.

    Famine Distress in Ireland

    <p>In the summer of 1822 a bad potato crop and limited employment opportunities created famine conditions in the west and south-west of Ireland. The partial failure of the potato crop in 1821 precipitated a food crisis, with extreme distress occurring in 9 counties from late April until mid-August 1822. In the month of July alone, over one million poor people in counties Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Clare, Galway, Roscommon, Sligo, Leitrim and Mayo, were estimated to be living on the verge of starvation in the month of July alone. Starvation and typhus caused deaths in many parts of the countryside and rural towns.</p>
