The family story says Thomas Coffey came from Cork to Brooklyn. We have
found two Thomas Coffey on the ship lists that seem to match him, one in 1870 and
one in 1869. We found him, married to Ann Casey (family story says she was
of Roscommon) with baby son William Thomas Coffey in Brooklyn in the 1880
census. Not long afterward, Thomas died, and we have his death certificate.
The son, William Thomas Coffey was my grandfather. We cannot find out
anything about Thomas Coffey or Ann Casey Coffey before the 1880 census. Just
recently, it was discovered through Holy Cross Cemetery, that Thomas Coffey's
burial spot was paid for by Thomas Farrell and there were some Casey graves
nearby that also had a Farrell name. We are thinking that Thomas Farrell may have
married a Casey. The burials were in the 1870-1890 timeframe and in Diamond
Section of Holy Cross. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Sue
lISTERS,
My Coffey ancestor, Maria Coffey, was from around the town of Aughrim, 4
miles west of Ballinasloe, Galway. The Township was Cloghagalla Eighter
and was known in later years as Boston Farm. She married William Burke
of Northbrook, a Townland just down the road, probably in the same
Parish sometime in the early 1840s. No marriage record has been found.
Their first child was Katherine Burke born 6 May 1844. She came to
Brooklyn NY about 1865 and lived there until 1909 when she died in Kings
County Home for the Aged.
I have traced Coffey relatives of Maria through Nova Scotia and down to
Boston, but the trail dries up in the early part of the last century.
Anyone looking at Irish Coffy/Coffeys from Galway?

Delaney line from Kilkenny. There as a son Martin too, born July 1834 IRE.

Tis the season to be with family, celebrate or create traditions unique to
your family.
For those of you who've added members to your family this year by birth,
marriage or discovery - congratulations.
For those of you who've lost members for whatever reason, my condolences.
Some traditions pass as do the generations, while others are continued or
created.
For my family I remember my father speaking of his childhood in central
New York in the 1930s, where on Christmas Eve his father would go out,
find, cut down, a tree for Christmas. Brought back home it was decorated
with among other things candles, which were lit at some point.
For myself, the last few years when we've gone to Minnesota for the holiday,
usually after lunch on Christmas day, we've walked down the middle of the
local river for a mile or more, seeing the tracks left by the various
creatures in the snow on the river and river banks. Sometimes we see
pheasant and once I saw a snowy owl.
To celebrate the season I'm passing along the URL of a site I created
last year, of vintage Christmas cards from my personal family collection.

Merry Christmas to you all,
Tim
