    1. [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] Interesting Story
    2. Therese
    3. Hi Everyone! Something very interesting happened today that I thought I'd share with everyone. I don't know if you heard on the news about the house on (Old) Mill St. in Troy today. There was a horrible mudslide from the backyard that came very close to the house, so much so that the tenants had to stay at a hotel tonight. Well that was really interesting to my family because that was my Mom and Dad's first house in Troy that they owned together. My first sister, brother, and second sister were all conceived in that house! They lived downstairs and my Mom's Mom (Alice Harrigan) lived upstairs. They were so cute about it, telling me a million stories about it. The video is on the Channel 9 website. It's dark though and it's hard to see the house. Also, I wanted to put my Dad's family names out there too. He has a very confusing family history. But the gist of it is that his relatives names are Gavin, Chapman, and McMahon. He actually told me that he knows that a lot of the McMahons do their family history a lot, so if you're on here I'll probably know who you are (we know you as which McMachon family, eg "one of the 14"). He grew up on Mann Ave, and went to St Joseph's school, and to LaSalle High School. Thanks for your info and letting me share this with you. Please keep me up with anything that you know.
