Mary Dolan nee Doherty

[GRACELANDS]

Mary was my grandmother Sarah's sister.  Sarah  died when my father was about 9.  Know one in the family knows anything about this side of the family.  I know from  previous help from this site that Mary and her husband Michael were on the 1920 census in Brookline, Boston and I believe other family members travelled out to see her and some stayed on.  Other family members were sister Bridget, Annie , Rose,  Nancy and Cathrine.( Catherine I believe became a Nun). The brothers were Eugene, John and Dennis.  They were all from Clonmany Co. Donegal Ireland.  Their parents were Dennis and Mary Doherty.

Any pointers or help gratefully received.

Many thanks

Thanks for your time and effort, I did know some of what you have printed as you say from previous help (sorry  I do no know how to copy  from one email to another - I am looking at getting some training on the computer).

I am a complete and utter novice and I am trying to find my way round, I do not know how or where you  and the others were able to access this information I assume there is a site I can contact or pay for help.

I suppose in answer to your question on what do I need to know now is really anything as I do not know anything about this family before  or after they went to America.

Sorry I did not mean to cause extra work or confusion and do appreciate the enormous amount of help you and the others do for people like myself.

Thanks once again,

Gracelands

The information I gave you on the previous thread was from www.ancestry.com.  You can see the Social Security Death Index for free on www.rootsweb.com or www.familysearch.org.

Thanks for these sites, things may start to get a little easier, I think I have found some information on one of the sites already.

Once again thanks for your help and everyone else looking out for us rookies.
