One of my aunts did a genealogy search years ago and found that my great grandmother came to America from Ireland through Ellis Island right around 1900. She was listed as a 14 year old unaccompanied minor and that is where that family line stopped. Little more is known about her. other than a few stories my grandmother told. Imagine how brave she had to be to even attempt coming here all alone.
Came here thanks to The Dropkick Murphys..just saw them play this live from Fenway Park with Bruce live streaming from his studio. Great song, reminds me of The Pogues and Shane mcGowan. A very Irish tune .
