I have recently begun to research my family history. It has been frustating and more difficult than I imagined it would be. The Ellis Island Passenger Record lists a Daniel Barry arriving in New York City on Nov. 23, 1919. It indicates that he was 21 years of age and sailed on the Adriatic out of Southampton, Southamptonshire, England. Since I figure that my father was born in County Cork circa 1898, the age and dates listed for Daniel Barry fit. My father was one of 13 children. The record also indicates that Daniel's destination was 132 E. 24th St, NYC, NY, the residence of a Mr. H. Barry. Daniel Barry lists his mother as Mrs. E. Barry of Ballymoney (This is the spelling in the ship's manifest.), Rostrevor, Ireland. My father met and married Beatrice McGrevey in New York City. They resided in Manhattan and produced eight children. He passed away in 1947 when I was 7 years of age so I have fleeting memories of him and no vital records. If the Daniel Barry listed in the ship! 's manifest is indeed my father, it fills me with feelings of joy and sadness. If someone can provide me with any additional facts re; the above Passenger Record information it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ed Barry
