That is good information to start with. Do you know where they settled when they emigrated?

Hi there
I can see the family arrived in NY 29th May, 1834 with David, James and Thomas.It doesn't give any details of where they came from in Sligo. There are some things we can look at but it might be more beneficial to understand a little more about the family in the US and search sources there for any clues before searching Irish records.
regards
Peter
