Have you tried looking in city directories for your Mary Flynn in New York. Probably the NY Public Library or the Historical Society have directories. You could also try the archives at Ellis Island, where she likely entered the country after her trip from Ireland. I don't have contact information for you, but you should be able to find phone numbers or addresses on the internet. Good luck! __________________________________ Sarah L.
