Ok, now bear with me here. I know you folks who are REAL Saratogians will recognize this immediately. But I am just beginning to figure stuff out so here it goes. In 1834 and guy named JOHN MORRISSEY, aged 3, emigrated from Ireland to Troy, New York. He became a big deal in your parts, particularly Saratoga Springs, all of which you folks would know. I just read about him in my neighbors book as they are former residents of Saratoga Springs and when they heard my name.... So my initial questions which do not seem to be addressed in the book are: Where in Ireland was he from? Did he have any family with him? Do we know anything about his ancestors? Do we know anything about his descendants? Any help appreciated. Slainte, Tim
