I am looking for ideas on how to search for Adam and Dora's immigration
to the US. Our first notice of their arrival in the US is from the 1870
Wisconsin State Census. They appear in the 1875, 1880 and 1885 state
census but the census taker had to phonetically spell their last name
because each census had a different spelling. Adam and Dora could not
read or write english....
Conly/Connely/Connelly/Conley were the last name spellings...
We do know that from the 1870 WI state census that a son Michael was
born in NY and was 1 yr old during the summer of 1870 and another son
Mathew was 4 yrs old and listed Ireland as the place of birth. This
narrows the time of immigration somewhat. The unusual combination of
their first names allowed our success in finding them in Wisconsin and
hope that it lends itself to finding them with son Mathew on board a
ship bound for New York.
Any help you can give is appreciated. John in Texas
