We are looking for verification of an Abbie Gelt Burns born to John Burns and Abbie Burns(Leary)on 8 March 1877. She immagrated to the United States in 1901 and married Francis J Quinn in 1904. We believe she was born in either the townland of Gortramough or Moneyflough outside of Sneem, Kerry Ireland. Any information would be helpful.
Hi Dennis
Do you know much about Abbie's emigration? Dates, the reason why she left, who she may have travelled with, etc.? Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure. If you knew which city they arrived at (e.g. New York etc..), this could be a good place to find more information. Have you tried some of these sites for information? http://www.archives.gov/research/immigration/passenger-arrival.html http://www.ellisisland.org/
You could try posting as much information about your relative as you can. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to assist you.
I wish you the best of luck with your research.
Kind regards,
