Hi Terry, Odd you mention Monaghan. On a corrected birth record from 1952, it states George Maguire is from Monaghan, Ire. This was a birth record of one of his sons. But story has it both the Maguire and McAleer families came from County of Monaghan. George Maguire was born March 1855 Ann McAleer was born April 1857 George arrived in the US 1860 Ann arrived in the US 1865 I don't know where they came in but I have their marriage record of 1874, Hoboken, NJ. I cannot seem to find either one before this marriage date. I know both should be in the 1870 Census I think Ann parents were John and Ann McAleer. They lived and died in Hoboken, NJ. My grandmother Annie was their daughter. I wish I could get more information on their lives in Ireland. Did you ever get help in County of Monaghan. Thanks for writing. Marge

Hi Marge My Great Grandfather was James McAleer b abt 1847 and I am pretty sure that he had a brother John b abt 1845 and a brother Charles b abt 1856. John & Charles came to live in Belfast. Their father was James McAleer. My Ggrandfather James seems to have been back and forward to the US a couple of times at least in the 1880's and when his twins were born (1882)their birth certificates gave the father's residence as Massachusetts, USA. Occupation "Hackler". I have hunted CofI records looking for births/deaths/marriages but so far have drawn blank. Trouble is I have no information about where in Monaghan so it is a long job!
