I'm seeking information about my gggrandfather, who was born in Ireland in 1827, emigrated to the US in the 1840s, and was married to Sarah Carmen (also born in Ireland around 1829). I do know know if Patrick and Sarah were married before or after they emmigrated. My Irish DNA suggests he was from  N. Tipperary, Wicklow, Carlow, Wexford, Laois, or Kilkenny. That's all the information I have - but I would love to discover more.

Thanks for any insights you may be able to share!

One of the topics schoolchildren were asked to write about were "Travelling Folk" or An Lucht Siúil. </p> <p>Here is a selection of what "settled" children wrote about travelers in the late 1930s.</p>
