On the 1880 census, most of the residents here listed the birth place of one or both parents as Ireland, and some also listed their own birth place as Ireland. The NYC Irish families I'm researching and the counties they're from: Cork: Quinn Monaghan: Lytle Antrim: Murphy Unknown: Quigley, Cronin Bill Chamberlain ----- Original Message ----- From: "louise collins" <ldcollins@erols.com> To: <IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 11:33 AM Subject: Re: [IRISH-NYC] What Catholic Church? > Oh, Bill, I do hope this is our family.
