I spent some time today going through old photos with my Dad of our family from Ireland. My Grandmothers Family is from #portlaw while my Grandfathers Family is from #Galway. Originally our family settled in Hartford CT before they made their way to Albany. Here are some photographs of my beautiful ancestors… my Great Grandparents Edward and Margaret (Maloney) Shaughnessy, Grandparents James and Winifred (Tiernan) Shaughnessy, I believe the woman in Uniform was my Grandfathers Cousin in “Paddy’s uniform”, Pat Moloney, Peggy Moloney& Joe’s wedding, David Moloney who is Gr. Gram’s brother that was tragically killed in an “industrial accident”, the wedding party and family of Peggy Moloney who was Gr. Grams Sister, Gr. Grampy Shaughnessy, Sonny Powers? who was Gramp Shaughnessy’s Cousin (they settled in The Liverpool Area)… sharing this with the odd chance that someone will know someone that might know someone that could connect me to long lost relatives. #portlaw #liverpool #shaughnessy #moloney #geneology #powersfamily #irishimmigrants #irishamericanhistory #galway #irishfamily #familyhistory #1920s #1914 #familysearch (at Portlaw) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU3RjsOLwUZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Making the Irish American: History and Heritage of the Irish in the United States J.J.Lee Description Featuring 29 classic and original essays on the turbulent, vital, and fascinating story of the Irish in America. The contributors include Linda Dowling Almeida, Margaret Lynch-Brennan, Marion R. Casey, David Noel Doyle, Pete Hamill, Kevin Kenny, Rebecca S. Miller, Mick Moloney, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Peter Quinn, and Calvin Trillin. All it takes is one St. Patrick's Day in the United States to realize that the Irish did not dissolve into the melting pot, they took possession of it. Few other immigrant peoples have exerted such pervasive influence, have left so deep an impression, have made their values and concerns so central to the destiny of their new country. In Making the Irish American, J.J. Lee and Marion R. Casey offer a feast of twenty-nine perspectives on the turbulent, vital, endlessly fascinating story of the Irish in America. Combining original research with reprints of classic works, these essays and articles extend far beyond a survey to offer a truly rich understanding of the Irish immigrant impact on America, and America’s impact on the Irish immigrant. Here the reader will find a brisk, compact history of Ireland itself, and a wide-ranging critique of Irish American historiography, as well as explorations of the multiple complications of religion, reflected in the fluctuating, and sometimes tempestuous, relations between Catholic and Protestant Irish and Scotch-Irish. The authors explore the various channels through which the Irish, men and women, have made their mark, from politics to labor organization, from domestic service to popular and traditional music, from sport to step dancing. Classic reprints include Daniel Patrick Moynihan's study of the Irish in New York, Pete Hamill’s memoir of President Kennedy—recollecting the responses around him in Belfast at the time of the assassination—Calvin Trillin's New Yorker profile of Judge James J. Comerford, long the iron-handed boss of New York's St. Patrick's Day parade.. #purchasebook amazon https://amzn.to/38ICDFq #irish #irishamericanhistory #irishamerican #heritage #historylovers #read https://www.instagram.com/p/CMdJZhFMTY7/?igshid=15hb56de0u3ih

IRISH AMERICANS-Dedicated to my ancestors from Ireland, Philip and Ellen Crowley and their baby daughter, Hanora, who sailed down the St. Lawrence River in 1838 and chose The United States as their new home. They toiled, as did their children, in the iron works and cotton mills in Cohoes, NY. #irishamericanhistory #ireland #cohoes #harmonymills #illustration #geneology https://ift.tt/2Tehmsy

On This Day in New York City History March 17, 1762: The first recorded St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York City is held.

According to the NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade website:

"The first NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade was comprised of a band of homesick, Irish ex-patriots and Irish military members serving with the British Army stationed in the colonies in New York. This was a time when the wearing of green was a sign of Irish pride but was banned in Ireland. In that 1762 parade, participants reveled in the freedom to speak Irish, wear green, sing Irish songs and play the pipes to Irish tunes that were meaningful to the Irish immigrants of that time."

The original parade route went past Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral (now Basilica) which is located on the corner of Mott and Prince Streets. Today the Parade is held along NYC's Fifth Avenue, passing by St. Patrick's Cathedral.
