Michael Hanlon ( alternative name O'Hanlon) born 1871. Emigrated from Kilkenny in Ireland to New Zealand on the 'Howrah" in 1875. I have been trying to discover what happened to Michael for a while now. Among a family members papers (his sister Bridget) was found a letter from a JM Hanlon, San Francisco in 1903. A Michael Hanlon (born Ireland 1871) immigrated to SF on the SS Mariposa (via Sydney) in 1900. Further, a Michael J Hanlon was naturalized in SF in 1904. He lost touch with his NZ family.
After that he disappeared. There have been one or two hopeful records but these have had to be eliminated.
The Rootschat Community, in the past, have been a huge help to me in my family research and that of others and I am wondering, after so many years have passed, there might be additional records in the States which might throw so light as to what eventually happened to him?
Thank you.
