SUBJECT: KIRWIN, PATRICK - migrated to Quebec City in 1840's. Patrick and Margaret(McElroy)and their children all migrated to Quebec City in 1840's. Patrick was born in Ireland around 1789. Their children were all married in Quebec City, most of them at Notre Dame Basilica: Catherine=Terence Granary Alice=Patrick Farrell Mary=John McCormick Johanna=Archibald Kerr William=Ellen Maguire John=Isabella Benson The last mentioned, John, my great grandfather and his wife Isabella Benson, my great grandmother, migrated about 1870 to Albany, NY, my home town. From 1870, I have a complete record of all the descendants of John and Isabella Benson. With the help of Professor Larkin Kirwin, past Rector of Laval University in Quebec, I found all this information 20 years ago. Last year my brother and I went to Quebec Cityu for THE IRISH SUMMER(L'ete irlandais), commemorating the 150th anniversary of the famine immigrants to Quebec, as well as the tragic events at Grosse Ile. Dr. Kirwin's family came at the same time as mine, but so far we cannot make a connection. Has anyone run across information on this branch of the Kirwin's. I'm stuck on tracing my Quebec City Kirwans back to a place in Ireland. Any suggestions? Many thanks! Art Kirwin, Raleigh, NC
