About this Blog

In 1982, my grandmother wrote out --on two yellow note pads-- her great grandmother's story of her journey from Ireland at the age of 13 to New York where she landed in Hell's Kitchen. My grandmother did extensive research, using Census records and Irish land ownership documents for this project. The story of Anne Hoey, passed down mother to daughter, proves document-able and holds up.

From the moment I read the story, I wanted to know more.

Years later, Annette Gordon Reed (The Hemings of Monticello) , entered my awareness and this blog was born.

I beg your indulgence and patience as I try to learn more about who I am, by reviewing those from whom I came.
