Hi Nancy,
My Great-Grandfather was born in Granard -1848. He left Ireland for New
York City in 1864, but returned several times to visit his family in the
1880's & early 1890's..Is there anyway at all to trace his roots back to County
Longford?
While in New York, he worked as a liquor salesman and then opened his
own saloon in Manhattan, NY, the late 1870's. He also performed on stage in NYC
theaters playing the bagpipes.
Does Longford have an 1860's directory of saloons in Granard or
surrounding areas? I am also looking for information on musicians in Longford during
that era.
I will be grateful for any information given.
Thank you,
Ursula
