My great grandmother Bridget Bourke who was born Feb 3/5, 1897 in we think Bohola to Patrick Bourke and Anne Kilgallon. She had a few brothers Walter, Patrick and John. There was a story one of her brothers was killed during the great war there. She came to America when she was in her teens after her mother died. I have looked on Ellis and I havent had any luck. I just want to make the connection there and find the info on her family in Ireland. She died in 1953. Lotsa Bourkes lotsa Bridgets..very confusing.

Hi, Kristen:

My grandmother was the Ellen Doris you're looking for.  She arrived not in New York, but in Boston, and later made her way with Bridge to New York. She had 5 children, the last and  youngest of whom, John, died four years ago.  She has a great niece still alive; I think she's the oldest still living from that line.

I'm looking for the Donley family near Newport in County Mayo. Anne Donley was born May 15, 1825. Her father was Hugh Donley and her mother was Bridgett Stanton.

The Mayo County Council has a revamped website that includes the ability to upload or enter your family tree. The goal is to gather Mayo family trees and find connections.

Katie - thanks for the links. It looks like you have two "http://" in each address, though, which prevents the pages from loading.
