Margaret Have you checked out Ellis Island site? There are a few James Doherty's in Malin Head and alot in Donegal. Malin head 1915 age 22 1922 age 6 1911 age 24 1910 age 30 Doesn't look like the ages are right, but maybe these are relatives, since they all came from Malin Head. Next time I'm at the Phila. Archives, I will see if there is a James Doherty in Phila. after 1907. Janice Friel
Hi Janice, Go raibh matih agat (thank you). Didn't find him in the Ellis Island site, but will check again, possibly the age is listed wrong. That would be wonderful if you could check the next time you go to the Philadelphia Archives. I would be most grateful. This James is a mystery in the family. Several years ago the O'Dochartaigh Clan sent some family information listing him. All my cousins said it was incorrect information and that there wasn't any James in the family. My Grandmother had told my Dad there were 13 children, but we only knew of 7. When in Malin Head in 2002 had the opportunity to see the church records and sure enough there was James and even another brother John, who looks like he could have been my Grandmother's twin. My Grandmother died in 1922 so our branch of the family lost contact with the Irish cousins. Thank you again.
