John Joseph Powers (1870?-1940) from Dungarvan (we heard) in his 1939 work Identification card from Brooklyn (Kings County) Lighting Company. 

His siblings also emigrated to New York: Joseph, Richard, Anastasia. Their parents were Bridget Kane and Patrick Powers.

Siblings Edmund and Patrick either stayed or passed as children.

One baptism might have been in Kilmacthomas.....so hard to trace a Powers in Waterford from across the pond!

Thank you!

Ann Marie Lynch (another challenging surname to trace)!
