Eight members of the Browne family immigrated to America from the Patrickswell area of County Limerick, Ireland during the great famine. Those immigrants were Honora Browne and her children, Patrick, John, James, Thomas, Ellen, Mary wife of William Henry Gray/Grey, and Johanna wife of Thomas Roach/Roche. This blog will be used to share family history, document past research and record future findings in the hope of preserving their story and perhaps connecting with other family members.
