Gorman History
Hi
My name is Paul Gorman and I am doing some research on my Family which came from County Meath in Ireland.
Michael and his brother William came to the US in 1834 and settled in Madrid NY ( St Lawrence County).
The records indicate that this was an Irish settlement where the Fay family from the Gorman’s native parish of Ardbraccan were already living.
My guess is they were neighbors/friends in Ireland.
I noticed in your report on county Meath ( attached) that all the Fay’s immigrated to Wisconsin & Iowa.
I know that when William Gorman died in 1847 his five sons and daughterCatherine moved to Wisconsin and settled in Wyocena Township of Columbia County.
I know this may be a stretch but I was hoping you could shed some light on the Fay/ Gorman connection.
My goal is to find out where in Ireland my Family is from such as the County ,Town and possible street address.
Since the Fay and Gorman families appear to haveneighbors in Ireland if you know where the original Fay’s were from I may be able to find the original Gorman’s.
Michael O’Gorman was born in 1792 in County Meath and died in 1845 in New York.
I have been unable to find any records of exactly where he lived in Ireland.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
