My great-grandfather Walter Murphy arrived in Boston in 1891 aboard this ship, the Pavonia. He was 27 years old and had one piece of luggage.

Welcome
This is an amateur, hobbyist family history and genealogy site. It is mostly about families from Ireland, England, and Newfoundland who emigrated to the northeast US, primarily the Boston area. Individual family pages are listed below. See the About page for the surname list of my direct lines. There is no copyright in information or ideas, and I am happy to share information with other researchers, but please do not copy and paste entire pages into your website. Original material on this blog is copyright © 2008-2012 Emily Hegarty. My contact info is on the About page if you need to know more.
