Sligo Football Team 1926 – New York City

This is a picture I restored a number of years ago. It is my grandfather’s Irish football team in New York. He is the one in front holding the ball.

I am a “sometime” family historian with roots back to Ireland. This is a place to share my stories and invite you to share yours. My maternal roots all lead back to the vicinity around Tubbercurry and Charlestown in Sligo, Mayo, and Roscommon counties. My direct paternal line, as I have recently learned, leads back to Dublin.

This is my personal family history site. I am not a professional genealogist. Although I try to be accurate and to document my findings, I find it it more compelling to tell a story and fill in the edges of the picture. I attempt to point out where I am guessing or where a particular piece of my puzzle is really a wing and a prayer, but no guarantees are offered. If you find something of interest, follow my sources. If I haven’t given them, it is likely I don’t have them.
