Brophy and Hogan Family Search Roscrea Parish, Tipperary

Hello, 

I am searching for any information on my husband's great great grandmother and her family.  Her name is Mary Hogan and she was born August 15, 1828 to Michael and Mary Brophy Hogan in County Tipperary.  The family immigrated to Troy, NY in 1849 or 1850.   Mary eventually married Irishman Edward Bergen in New York.  Mary Hogan Bergen lived until 1922 when she passed away in Illinois.  Her obituary states she was educated in the convent at Roscrea, Tipperary.  

Any information of any kind about Mary or her parents Michael and Mary Brophy Hogan would be very much appreciated.  My husband has had his DNA tested and is 53% Irish.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Carolyn and David Michael Comfort
