Great Grandfather was Shaugnessy, James, whose parent's are listed as Shaughnessy,
Michael and Carrol, Ann from, somewhere, in Ireland.
James appears to have shown up in Watervliet, New York, in approximately 1881, varying
between 20ish to 30ish. He never signed anything with the same dates, let alone put down
where he was born in Ireland. His paper work says he was from Queenstown. Well, that is
where the boat left from.
He does marry a McGovern, Mary, who has a brother named Owen.
