Good try, but Anastasia was one of the older of the Bolgers' Wexford born children, and she married and had children before she and her husband James Carty emigrated to Wisconsin in The newspaper article /obit when she died in 1890 says she married her husband in 1854 and they emigrated in 1858. Someone had all the facts mixed up, unfortunately, because their first child was born in 1848. By 1857 they had 6 children! But I can't find a record of their emigration! Thanks anyway! They probably did come via the Great Lakes...most direct way to Wisconsin! Don't know when Edward came either, altho there's a date on his naturalization application. I know Mary Doyle Bolger, Edward's wife came in 1848 with her youngest 7 children. It's in "Famine Immigrants", as I mentioned in a previous e-mail recently.
