I know she was born in 1943 and was the oldest child in her family. She would have migrated to the NYC area about 1960 and lived w/ friends and likely worked for the phone company. Research has led me to believe her name is Mary T. Brogan (June 1943, birth registered at Castlebar). If this is her, her mother's maiden name was Timlin (Ann, I think). I was born in the Bronx in 1964 and was adopted through the Spence-Chapin agency in Manhattan. I have some reason to believe that she migrated back to Ireland sometime after my birth. My birth father was a bit older, and also an Irish immigrant from the West of Ireland who came to the States sometime in the late 1950s. They were unmarried. Any info anyone can offer about her--or my other relatives would be welcome. Thanks Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
