Hello, I just wanted to offer an FYI about the travels of my husband's great-grandparents. Because of a very helpful researcher, I have found out that Peter GAVIN and Margaret WHALEN / WHELAN came to Massachusetts on different ships in 1883. They were reportedly both born in 1860 in Co. Galway, Ireland (unknown town). But, the "ship list" for each showed the ship took on passengers in Liverpool, England, and then in Queenstown, Ireland. (I just found this out a few days ago and don't have further information than that.) I did a Google search and found out that Queenstown had its name changed Cobh. And it was the 2nd largest "natural Port" in the world, and it was referred to as "the Cove of Cork." So, I have to do more looking to find out whether Peter and Margaret got on the ship in Liverpool or Queenstown. And, whether they lived in different areas before they decided to "come to America." Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) (I also don't know whether Peter and Margaret knew each other before they left for Massachusetts, or whether they met in or near Boston. They married in Waltham, MA, one year later.) We may have arrived on different ships but we're all in the same boat now. :o) (thinking genealogy) (possibly first said by Martin Luther King, Jr.)
