I sent my initial query several years ago.  I never received the documents Brendan mentioned in his reply.  I have since found that Edward (my grandfather) parents were Edward Connolly and Mary Lyons. ( I was able to get their names from my grandfather's marriage certificate).  Year of birth for my grandfather I am pretty sure is 1873.  He emigrated to NY in 1893. Arrived on June 5 1893 on the Umbria.  Married Celestine Tiesche in 1904.  They had five children:  Edward (my father) in 1905, John in 1906, Joseph in 1908, Thomas in 1911 and Louise in 1915.  I would love to know where my grandfather is from in Ireland.  Hoping to visit once we can travel again.  

Thanks much
