In preparation for a family trip to Ireland in 2024, I developed this abbreviated family tree to demonstrate the connection that our family had to Limerick and Tipperary.  To make the connection clearer I simplified the tree through the elimination of children/siblings and focused on the progression to my mother, Marilyn Ann Brownson McCauley.  That generation has links to Limerick and Tipperary.  The family name of Glasheen has links to Cork. 

An observation is that these ancestors emigrated after the Potato famine of the 1840’s.  There were many reasons for people to immigrate to the United States.  Maybe these motivations are better known by other members of the family.
