Hello List, I have just joined your list, and am posting from Scotland, so please forgive my lack of knowledge of when registration etc began in the various States of the USA.(and where to look for them) I have been many years trying to piece together "my" Darcy antecedents, who came from "Ireland". Have recently found a few snippets on various sites showing people of the name emigrating to Providence.--eg 1. THOMAS (29) and ELLEN (30) DARCY arrived NY aboard the "Caledonia" ex Glasgow, arriving NY 1/9/1907stated destination their Sister Cath(erine?)at what looks like 4th(?411?)?Lippie? St. Providence.(sorry-- writing on manifest a bit dodgy) Also found 2.FELIX DORSEY ,born c.1818 died 12th Nov. 1856, buried In St. Patricks Cemetery,Douglas St. Providence.---- Civil Registration began here in 1856, but did it in Providence, or would there be some other form of record? All the above given names appear in the various Darcy lines which I have looked at with the exception of FELIX, which seems to have been used by "my" line (and all it's sibling families) right down to my own generation(my Father and Brother-- who died in infancy)--so I am particularly interested in 2 above. I would be so very grateful for any/all help information,pointers,etc anyone can give me, to find out more about the" Providence" Darcys--are any of you still out there? In hope---sincerely, [email protected]
