My mother’s side of the family is from Ireland. My father’s side of the family is a mix of many nationalities, nothing too prominent. My mother’s family name is Kileen, they lived in Galway in Ireland.
They immigrate to the United States in the late 1850s. Their reason for coming to the United States was related to the poor conditions in Ireland created by the potato famine. They came into the United States through New York City and lived there for a number of years. Future generations that were
more economically
successful and educated then moved out to Long Island.
My mother grew up on Long Island and then moved upstate while in high school. My fathers family lives on the west coast where he was brought up in California. They have extended family in Canada, Great Britain and France.
