Hello- I have been told that my great-great grandfather worked on constructing the Erie Canal, which was completed in 1825. Has anyone had any luck finding information on Irish immigrants involved in engineering/ construction of the Canal? I've contacted the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse to see if there are records of the names of workers but got nowhere. My great grandfather was called Cornelius Ahearne/ Ahern and was from Cork. Thanks in advance for any help or advice on this. Paula Spencer
