Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WWC.2ACI/2337.1 Message Board Post: Seeking info on my gr-gr-grandfather, Michael Shore, who also came here very early. He arrived, let me guess, about 1820 - long before the famine. I have a map of Kilkenny right her and he might have been from Castlecomer area. He was a dynamite setter and worked for some time for DuPont. He was married to a Julia Kelly who died Jan. 12, 1906, probably in Coal Castle, PA; Shore himself died April 4, 1900. Anyone who can help, please do. Mary Jo Purcell
