Bruce I have a lot of research to do yet. When I go to Newfoundland this summer I hope to find out when my GGGrandfather first came over, how and with whom. I have a couple of partial Sinnott/Sinnett family histories written in 1905 and 1910 from Maine and Philadelphia. It gives a broad history of the Sinnott's in Ireland back to 1170. It is quite interesting and I do not know how far back I will get with this. It is interesting to see what you find and you learn some history at the same time.

Maurice Right on ! I am sure that Thomas Sinnott Cullen came in through Philadelphia but I have been unable to locate a name on a passenger list Bruce ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maurice Charette" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2006 8:38 AM Subject: Re: [WEX] Sinnott's > Bruce > > I have a lot of research to do yet.
