Very interesting article.....I'd love to know how some of my ancestors ended
up in Troy. I've written to Jeanne before as my great great grandmother was
a Keefe -- or O'Keefe -- but could not find a connection.
My most recent ancestor came to America in 1880 and the earliest I can trace
was in 1825 but somehow I am of 100% Irish heritage. My generation is the
first to marry to non 100% Irish descent! (My husband is almost 1/2 of
Irish descent.) The other common denominator is that all of my Irish
ancestors that came to the US lived in New York state cities (Brooklyn,
Mahnattan, Syracuse, Troy and Long Beach Long Island). There must have
been very close knit Irish communities in all of these cities.
