Hello list, I have been researching my family history for a while now and have determined that my 3rd great-grandfather and grandmother immigrated to the us in about 1853/1854. I assume they came over with a son who was born about 1853. However, some records suggest that he was born in the USA. I have never found William's brith record here. I have found the birth record for their son Patrick in 1855 (actually it is the baby's baptismal record). They were Catholic. We have not been able to find any record of where they came from in Ireland. Jame has a brother William who married in Providence, RI where they lived at the time in 1857. They then moved out to Provincetown, MA for many years. I assume William came over with his brother, James and sister-in-law but not positive. Based on this information I searched the Griffith's Valuation for towns where Gorman and Dee both lived. I came up with a narrow list of two. One of these occurances in in Boherboy, Waterford. Can any one give me some hints on what to do next? James Gorman - b: about 1815 Ireland Mary Dee - b:about 1825 Ireland William Gorman - b: about 1825 Ireland They were Roman Catholic. Thank you very much! Jim Gorman

Seing as Dee is in actual fact O'Dea or Dea did you choose to use these names as well when you searched for the common denominator of Gorman and Dee. O"Dea?
