Collins/Shanahan/McEnery

I just found in the 1905 NY State census, living on West 126th Street in Manhattan: Josephine Collins, age 36, b. US, in US 17 years, runs a lodging house; her cousin Mrs. Mary Shanahan, age 27, b. Ireland, 18 years in the US; Mary Shanahan's daughter Eileen, age 9. b. US, and Josephine Collins's cousin Patrick "McHenry", age 36, b. Ireland, 16 years in the US. All are citizens.

Finally using DNA

I finally moved into the twenty-first century and have sent in my DNA to see if I can connect with other Curleys, since the paper trail has not proved successful.

Moving some old files of mine I came upon a 1992 letter from Edna Ball who said that "His [our great-grandfather Daniel Kilcommons] family did not settle in New York, and later, Pennsylvania, as he did. His family settled in Freehold and Matawan. The (our) family did not keep in contact with them."
