It is about a James Durkin from Brewster, NY. My great grandfather was Philip Durkin from Sligo, Ireland. I believe that Philip's father (if I have the generations straight) was Luke Durkin. Several decades ago an elderly aunt gave me a for me a list of Philip Durkin's children--or maybe it was Luke's children. They included a James, who immigrated to Brewster, New York. The list also included a Luke, A Martin, Anthony, Jack, and Edward. If someone connected with the James from Brewster, NY reads this, I would love to be in touch with you to provide/share information. Thanks. Rosemary Lyon, rdlyon@verizon.net Please note that the name was often spelled Durcan in Ireland. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
