My grandmother came here from Ireland in 1900 and worked as a collar stitcher in one of the factories. Her name was Mary Gallagher and her sister Sabina came here in 1903, but I don't have any other information on her. Mary lived on third street with a cousin named Campbell. If there were any shirt factories near there, then she probably worked in one of them. I would appreciate any assistance.

Vaughn [[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, May 01, 2005 7:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TIGS] Shirt Factories Categories: GENEALOGY TIGS There were several companies in the area that made shirts & collars. They are listed in a book called "Industrial Advantages of Troy, NY and Environs by the Citizens Association of Troy, 1895 (James P. McKinney, publisher, Rochester, NY). I was doing look-ups for the list in this book a couple of weeks ago, but I have since returned it to the library. It is available via interlibrary loan, and is also available at the Troy Public Library.

I remember being surprised at how many textile factories were in the area.
