My great grandfather Patrick SULLIVAN 1842-1903 was born somewhere in Ireland (family stories indicate County Cork). He married Ellen CUMMINS/CUMMINGS 1845-1927 in Rhymney Wales in 1863. His brother Florence SULLIVAN 1845-1909 was also working in Iron works in Rhymney. When Patrick married he indicated his father John was deceased; when Florence’s died his death certificate indicated his father was John SULLIVAN and mother Julia SULLIVAN (not sure whether SULLIVAN was Julia maiden name as well as her married name). Patrick immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1865. Florence also came to PA and married Ellen GLYNN 1849-1913. Both the SULLIVAN and CUMMINGS families settled in the Northeast Pennsylvania area Luzerne/Lackawanna Counties in the of Old Forge, Taylor, Minooka boroughs of Scranton, PA and Archbald, PA. It appears Patrick and Florence had an uncle living in the Scranton area. This uncle, their father John’ s brother, Michael SULLIVAN 1825 he died c 1880 in the Taylorville boro of Scranton. Michael was married to Margaret DISKIN 1844-1905. The SULLIVAN, CUMMINGS, DISKIN all had large families and while I have had success researching in the US I have not been able to find the SULLIVAN homeplace in Ireland. I am participating in the Family Tree SULLIVAN DNA Surname project to see where it may lead me. Looking for any information/connections. Please contact Walton J. SULLIVAN at wsullivw@aol.com
