That's the problem. I know my great-great grandfather was born in Montgomery, AL in 1831, and his father John had a farm in Florence circa 1879 (state or location unknwown). Florence, KY or AL maybe. My grandmother said that our Fitpatricks were in the new world since the 1600's. I'm thinking it's more like the 1700's, but I could be wrong.
I have no info on when or from where we immigrated in Ireland. I haven't a notion as to who our relatives still living in Ireland may be. I don't know the port of departure or port of arrival. And I don't know the name of the ship or the names of those Fitzpatricks who had crossed over. As you can see, there are many missing pieces to my puzzle. I know what I don't know in great detail.
