Hello -
I am looking for info re my great great grandmother, Margaret Shay (Shea, O'Shea), who came to the U.S. with her sister, Josephine, and aunt, Elizabeth O'Donnell in probably the early 1850s. They settled in New Orleans. I do not know where in Ireland they came from, so any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
Maddie
