I have a record for a David Broderick b c 1905 arriving in Boston 12th April 1926 going to his aunt Mrs Pat Walsh 7 Easter Terrace Pittsfield MA. David born County Cork Ireland.
I do not need any info on David as I know he returned to Ireland and died here in 1956. I am trying to trace the origins of his Aunt Pat Walsh her maiden name possibly Broderick or Hegarty. Thank you for any assistance.

Thank you so much I didnt have Mary Hegarty or Timothy Hegarty on the family tree so lots more to add now thanks to your detective work I would say Timothy is a brother to Mary . Appreciate your efforts. :)
