Restarting the Genealogy Group
Wednesday, March 8, from 10:00 to noon, the Historical Society's Genealogy Group will meet at the History Center, 175 Pine Street. The group is for all levels of expertise. Free for members, $3.00 for non-members. Questions may be directed to the History Center at 860-647-9983. Dennis Gleeson, the Society's president, explains that the Genealogy Group can help you find your Manchester roots. Here's an example: How the Gleesons ended up in Manchester -- "Edmond Gleeson 1837-1905, married Mary Shanahan 1845-1804 in 1874 at Tipperary, Ireland. By 1875, they were in Manchester with Edward working at Cheney brothers as a teamster. Seven children were born to them on Eldridge Street. By 1900, they were living on Oak Grove Street, and Edmond was working for Hale Livery. Three children lived past 20 years: John Gleeson 1877-1954, Julia Gleeson 1878-1961, and Nora Gleeson Moran 1881-1978." John was Dennis's grandfather.
