Daly sisters immigrated to New York from Westmeath, Ireland

[splask]

I'm looking for information on three Daly sisters from Westmeath who immigrated to New York around 1910s - 20s. Their names were Josephine, Bridget and Gertrude.  Gertrude married twice and her married names were Baxter and Cummins.  Gertrude and Josepenine appeared to have passed in Queens, New York.

Hi,

Welcome to RootsChat

It sounds as if you already have some information.  Is there anything specific you are looking for information on ?   Have you got a few more details, years of birth for the 3 girls, parents names etc.,

Yes, the birth dates are Josephine (b. 1896), Bridget (b. 1901), and Gertrude (b. 1903).  I'm looking to know when/how they immigrated to New York, who were their receiving family/contacts were and if married, who were/are their families.  I'd also like to know where they are buried.

They were my Great Aunts.

Looks like they worked for the family that opened the Ehrich Department store (the worlds first) in New York.
