Hi,
My great grandmother was Mary Mackin and it is believed she was born in 1877 in Bally Bay, Monaghan. She immigrated to New York in late 1800's and married John Murphy in New York. She had two sisters born in Bally Bay also, Katherine (1876) and Ann (1866). Katherine also immigrated to New York but Ann stayed in Ireland and married Terence Coyle. If any of these names sound familiar, please let me know. Thanks.
