Moffit/Conboy/Glynn emigrated to New Haven CT after 1870

CorkLeitrim (Cork)

John Conboy (1848) and Elizabeth Glynn (1850) immigrated 1870 to New Haven, CT. Also her mother Ann Glynn and Ann's other children Mary and Jackson Glynn.  John Conboy was a tailor. His sister Bridget Conboy married Michael (or Nathan?) Moffat and most of their children came over one by one: Mary Ann, Jennie, Thomas, John, Margaret, Elizabeth. Two children (Teresa, James) I think stayed behind as did the parents. I want to  find out where they came from. I was told Leitrim or Galway.

Jennie Moffat, my gmother married Emil Johnson a Norwegian.

Hi there,

Thank you very much for your query to Ireland Reaching Out. Could you please post your message on the County Galway profile page here: http://www.irelandxo.com/group/county-galway

You could try looking for John and Elizabeth in the land records called Griffith's Valuation (1848-64). There might be some record there for Elizabeth or her parents. It would be better if you knew a more precise location or more names.

Have you tried looking for family papers or documents for more clues?

Kind regards,

Sinead Cooney
