I am searching for birth records for Francis Flanagan born 1897.
At age 3, he perhaps stayed with an uncle John Francis Raden/Rosen found in Irish census of 1901.
I think his mother is Mary Flanagan who waited for him to arrive in Philadelphiaa off the ship Friesland in 1907. He was accompanied with a Hannah Flanagan who does not appear to be a sibling.
I believe Mary was a widow. So I also would like his deceased father's name. I believe his oldest brother was Patrick. I know that his son Matthew George was a practicing Catholic in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Francis (Frank) Flanagan married Elizabeth Dunigan born in Philadelphia, PA. Her parents were born in Ireland.
I was married to Patrick Michael Flanagan deceased 2002, son of Matthew George Flanagan deceased 1964. Our 2 sons Michael and Kevin Flanagan do not know any Flanagan relatives. Please help them connect with blood relatives anywhere!
Thank you for any clues. Sylvia Flanagan Dowd

Sylvia:
I looked at Roots Ireland and Find My Past and could not locate an 1897 baptismal or birth record for a Francis (Frank) Flanagan in Co. Mayo. I checked other years close to 1897 also.
You mention "At age 3, he perhaps stayed with an uncle John Francis Raden/Rosen found in Irish census of 1901." Do you have a link to the censius record?
Thanks.
