Hello,

I will be traveling to Ireland in April this year and would love to connect with my Irish roots where my GGG grandfather, Edward Moore, once lived.  He was born 1 May 1811 in Queen's County and emigrated to the USA sometime between 1842 and 1850. He was married to a Mary Conklin/Caughlin/Connolly (not sure of her last name) and they had 3 children prior to leaving for the USA.  Their names were Sarah Ann DOB 1833, Simon DOB 1838, and Maryann DOB 1841.  They lived in Pennsylvania in 1850 according to the census, but ultimately ended up in Green Isle Minnesota.  Edward Moore's father had the same name and his birth year was around 1780 and his wife's name was Sarah. I presume he had siblings, but I do not have that information.

If anyone has any information if there are any descendants of Edward Moore's siblings still living in Ireland, I would be so grateful to learn more about the family and my heritage.  Attached is a photo of Edward Moore's granddaughters, Nellie and Genevieve, as well as some of Nellie's children, including my grandmother Katherine.   Nellie and Genevieive's  father was John Patrick Moore, the son of my GGG grandfather, Edward Moore.

Many thanks in advance,

Lori Makela
