This morning I worked on my to-do pile and came upon the latest issue of The
Shanachie, the Connecticut Irish-American Historical Society newsletter
(Vol. XXVI, No. 4, 2014). I had been keeping it for just this occasion - to share the information on my blog.
This issue is a goldmine for anyone with
Irish ancestors living/working in Connecticut during the 1800s.
The newsletter lists Irish workers on the
Danbury & Norwalk Railroad, maritime workers, ship carpenters,
sailors. And then there are the
Irish women who worked in the carpet industry in Enfield, CT.
For those who have Irish ancestors living in
Connecticut, a membership in the Connecticut Irish-American Society is well
worth the coin.
