Having a heck of a time locating immigration information and birth specifics on Anna.  b. 26 Sept 1866. Immigrated (per 1920 census)  in 1889, naturalized 1893. "She traveled to the US at age 16 alone". Father- Patrick, Mother- Mary

Where was she living in 1920?  Where did you get her birth date from?

[Seamiuse]

in 1920 She, her husband John Broderick and several children were living in the City of Willoughby, Ohio, Lake county. The date of birth was ascertained from her death cert.

Is this the correct person ?

I see a Ohio death certificate for Anna M. Broderick, born 26 Sep 1874 in Roscommon, daughter of Patrick and Mary Morris Roe.

Good find Shelly.  So it is the same family as the 1920 Census, the names appear in the Cleveland Necrology File - just the age thats up the creek

I see a Ohio death certificate for Anna M. Broderick, born 26 Sep 1874 in Roscommon, daughter of Patrick and Mary Morris Roe.

Yes, this is the correct Anna and John, my GGGrandparents.  Before moving from that area I visited the home in Willoughby, Ohio (just outside Cleveland) and ascertained just about everything about their lives once they got there and the children; John F, Renaldo, Katherine, Edwin, Danny, Margaret, Helen etc.

The problem I have is finding when Anna came into the USA and going back from there. Also what makes it a bit hard is that although the death cert lists her birthplace as Roscommon, the area we THINK she was from was at the time of her birth in MAYO!  lol That birth cert has alluded me for years.

It is said she had one brother, unknown to us at this time.
NO WAY did Anna and John marry in Ohio. They had numerous children by the time they got to ohio and had only been in Ohio about 40yrs at the time of her death. Two children (at least) had been born in NY.

Appreciate the help folks.

Slainte!

I have'nt managed locate a passenger list entry, the trouble is that they gave very little details at that time. Have you tried the Ireland boards to see if anyone can come up with info on Anna or her parents, sibling

I haven't Sandra. I am FAR from being very educated on this, and sources. I did however get a response from a fella in Ireland from the "Irish Ancestry Research" who indicates he located ; "the birth and baptism record of Anna. These documents tells us the full name of Anna's mother. Using this info, I was then able to search for her siblings. I can only detect one brother, and his name was not Patrick."

How/where he located this information is unknown and I'm not prepared to submit $175.00. 

BTW, I am ASTOUNDED at the wealth of information now available on the internet. I started this project some 10yrs ago and everything I learned was earned by way of "shoe leather" lol. My My how things have changed.
