How do you find on what ship someone arrived on to the USA when you don't know when they sailed? My grandfather, Lawrence William Doyle, came over in 1866, probaably in March. I think he came with his brother, Joseph Paul and his wife Catherine. He was from Ireland, Dublin is all I ever heard. I think he landed inNew York, but I do not know. He was 26 years of age. Help!
