Janet, I would like to be in contact with you in relation to Irish immigration to New Haven. My family is from New Haven, CT and came from Cashel, Tipperary. The family names are McGrath, Gooley, Heffernan, Pendergast and Ryan. All common names in Tipperary and New Haven, CT except Gooley. I believe New Haven was a gateway for Tipperary immigrants such as some areas of Upstate New York (Syracuse & Troy). I have a couple of sources that may be helpful to you. My Heffernan side never made it to the US and continued to send letters to New Haven up until the 1950's. They were from Synone and moved to Ballinree, Cashel Tipperary. I am still trying to locate that family if anybody can help. Regards, Michael
