We are a bit stumped about my husbands GGG Grand parents.
Her name was Mary McCullough who was born at sea in possibly 1822 or before. Her fathers name was Thomas and wife Mary who we know were from Ireland. We think that they ported in PA. but are not sure.
There are several things we need to prove.
What ship they came on.
Documentation of Mary's birth at sea
Where in Ireland were they from and from that spot find ancestors of the family.
Any tips would be great.
Thanks

My ancestors in Ireland are the Hehirs/O'Hares of County Clare, Ireland.
I am always looking for more information on them and their reasons for moving from Ireland to England and then ultimately to the USA.

Thanks in advance if you have any info you can share on this group of ancestors of mine.

I'm looking for members of the Family Howard. I'm still researching in the United States; however, I've found Howard families in both Ireland and England and I'm wondering if a Howard family member has done research to the point that they have traced their Howard lines into the United States and would be willing to share that information with me.

I'm researching Howards, Fottrells, Fitzsimons, Dunnes, Dowds, Wheatley and Chambers families in North Dublin county, especially around Baldoyle and Malahide.

Where are the alphabetized folders and how do I get there? Thanks- sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm missing something.

I would really appreciate some help if possible. I have been doing research on my own for about 8 months now. I am looking to find the place of birth for my husbands great grandfather. I have quite a bit of info but have hit a wall with the location. This is the info I already have:
Great Grandad:
Patrick J. Sullivan DOB 2/27/1861 Co. Cork
He arrived in Boston on 5/1/1883. The only ship I can find out of Ireland, Queenstown, that year to Boston is the Catalonia which stopped in Liverpool as well.
He was Naturalized 9/6/1890. He married Annie Mulcahey in 1895 and died in Portland Maine October of 1899.
His parents were Jeremiah Sullivan and Margaret Sullivan. I know this is a lot to ask for help but I am at a dead end and would REALLY love to get this done for my husband and his family. Please feel free to email me if you have any ideas or help.
Thanks a Ton!!!!

My Irish ancestors emigrated to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, before coming to the US. They were:
Henry and Ann Gibson, supposedly of County Fermanagh and Donegal
Dennis Cain
Catherine Mulhearn/Mulhains

I haven't found the exact immigration dates for them yet, but I'm still searching!

I assume I have Irish ancestors as people always say I look Irish, not sure what they mean, as I have red hair/green eyes/ fair skin, I guess that's what Irish look like. My great grandpa Rivers had red hair. His father had black hair, I do not know what color hair his Mom had, but her maiden name was Sullivan. Her father and grandfather were in Green and Hardin Co., KY. in 1800's, and somewhere in Virginia before that. I believe William Sullivan wife's mother was Jane Mann and the Mann Family came from Ireland, but Mann doesn't even sound like an Irish name, I'm always looking for my Irish roots.
