They stated in 1910  they had immigrated to America in 1878. We would love to hear from the family before our next trip to Ireland in 2014. Thanks in advance for any help, Helen Murphy

Dear Seamus,

Looks like you found the right family! His tombstone in the US says 1850 but it could well be 1846! Robert was a bookkeeper by trade, and I beieve his father was a draper?? Thank you so much for responding to my query.

Sincerely, Helen

I just saw this individual on a tree from a DNA profile that I am connected with.   I have no idea how I am related to this person.   I do have some far back family from Cork, but I don't know much about them actually...
