My family starts with Honour McManus-Durkin, her daughter was Bridget who married a Brown, James I believe( County Down), offspring John, Harry, Catherine, Lena, James. Patrick Durkin I believe came to US with Bridget and returned to Ireland late 1870 . I think they had a sister named Clara She wrote to him at Village Culmlimey, County Mayo Bridget and James separated shortly after marriage. I have a feeling they were both on the ship that came to US, as the ships seemed to come out of Liverpool or County Cork. I found some Ships records for her arrival in US, she was with a Catherine a friend, who then lived nearby. Bridget Durkin Brown had about 3 dogs. I think her sisters name was Clara who came her also A cousin of mine who i don't know lives in Florida and has the family tree records, I tried to contact her thru an email but no luck. but if she sees this, the name Rozanski should ring a bell.
