Does anyone have any family info from Ireland before they emmigrated to US? My gggrandfather left County Down about 1850, travelled thru NY City, settled in Pittsburgh, PA, for awhile, then moved to Farmington, PA (now Fayette County). It is very likely that they settled in SW PA to be near family.

I have a David McCracken in my database who was the son of William and Agnes Ann Nancy Trusdell b in Ireland. This David was born about 1836 and was one of 8 chilren. This family lived for many years in Lowell, MA having come to the US from Quebec, Canada via Sparta, WI

David's siblings were:
1. Ann McCracken b unknown
2. Margaret McCracken b Abt 1839
3. Jane A. McCracken b Abt 1844
4. William McCracken b 15 Aug 1844
5. Isaac McCracken (my great-grandfather) b 3 Nov 1846
6. Susan V. McCracken b 12 Mar 1849
8. Agnes McCracken b. abt 1851

Please reply if any of these names/dates match your family.
