My husband's Irish Immigrants arrived in late 1840's-mid50's. Son, Michael Patrick born in 1857 in Tremont, SchuylkillCo, PA. Michael's younger Siblings are James, John, Lawrance. Family moved/settled in Clearfield, PA. Family found in 1880 census-parents born in Ireland. Trying to trace back to Ireland but no success. Searched pass. lists but unable to them for arrival date and port, ship, departure port, Irish county or origin. Suggestions? Thanks, Marci McDonald

> arrived in late 1840's-mid50's. Son, Michael Patrick born in 1857 in > Tremont, SchuylkillCo, PA. Have you found him in the 1840 and 1850 federal censuses? While 1840 only gives the head of household, the 1850 lists all members of the household. This would at the least enable you to narrow down the years he came to this country and where he lived before Tremont. Once that is done, you can check the area(s) for naturalization records and possibly a marriage record. Sometimes they give more than Ireland as place of birth. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton
