Somewhere back in time more than a few people made the journey from Ireland to a small area in Northeastern Pennsylvania. So far I can get back to about 1848 with the Michael Collins family coming to the Dunmore area. Can't for the life of me find them in Ireland but I have hope even if there are thousands of Michael Collins and some famous ones at that! All the rest it seems came from County Mayo as did many of the Irish in Dunmore. |
