Ireland, with 4 children. Children b. NY & she must be a widow as no husband listed and youngest child is 2. Her occupation is brush drawing. > Dennis Hogan 19, b. Ireland, is within the household Bridget is also in the 1880 census of Lansingburgh (she was there in 1870), spelled Bridget McParttin, age 44 with 5 children: Mary is 19, John 17, Stephen 15, William 13, and Kate 9. John and Stephen both work as brush makers. It is odd that there would be another child, if she is in fact widowed... In 1860, there is a Bridget McFarlin, 24 in Lansingburgh with husband Frank. In the household are several others who are brush makers, probably unrelated (there were brush factories in Lansingburgh). It's likely that this is the same Bridget as she is the right age and born Ireland. There were other McFarlin and McParland families in Lansingburgh, possibly related. I just played around with the census on Ancestry.com, using the soundex etc. Names were never spelled correctly or consistently in the census, so it's always necessary to play around with every spelling possibility, and also search for people's ages - plugging in approx dates of birth and places of birth, looking for all possibilities, including other states.... Also, if you know that Dennis Hogan came From Co. Limerick, I would write to the Heritage Center there and see if they can find anything on his family. Search on CyndisList.com -- there are lots of hits for Limerick.

Shaw Categories: GENEALOGY TIGS After seeing a message about The Keener by Maura D. Shaw on this list, I purchased a copy. It is an excellent novel about life and conditions in Ireland at the time of the famine. The main characters emigrate to Troy in order to survive and I think t he author gives a very good picture of life and conditions in Troy in the second half of the 1800s. I think anyone on this list would be interested in this book. Happy reading. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 1:01 AM Subject: NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC-D Digest V05 #47 ==== NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC Mailing List ==== Troy Irish Genealogy Society website http://www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ 5 Frank Ryan From: [email protected] Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 11:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TIGS] The Keener by Maura D.

Shaw Categories: GENEALOGY TIGS Dear list, I ,too, have read Maura Shaw's wonderful book which I obtained at her reading and signing event at the Arts Center in Troy,March 11th. My grandparents,John and Johanna (McGrath) Shaw lived on 4th St in south Troy so this book was really exciting for me to read. Upon reading this book you will realize how much research was done to complete this book and I know the list members will enjoy this book as much as I have.Mary (Welch) Hayes ==== NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC Mailing List ==== Troy Irish Genealogy Society website http://www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ 7 Frank Ryan From: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 8:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TIGS] Dallaird thomas Categories: GENEALOGY TIGS I'll try to get the censuses out to you as soon as I can-if this goes through. It just could have been an overcrowded network.

Shaw Categories: GENEALOGY TIGS Hello Mary: Your mention of Johanna McGrath caught my attention as I had just finished checking Page 66-1 from the Burden Death Record project. The following McGrath was listed on that page. My great grandmother in Ireland, by the way, was a Johanna Hayes McGrath from Thurles, Tipperary. "McGRATH-In this city, Oct. 24, 1894, Johanna, wife of Patrick McGrath. Funeral from the residence, 134 Third street, on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, and thence to St. Mary's church, where a requiem high mass will be celebrated. Friends are invited to attend. " There are only THREE more pages to be done on the Burden Death Record project and shortly we will have approximately 6,000 records on-line searchable by name.
