Thanks for posting this. Have listened to several; good article. My Irish great grandmother was transported with her mother and younger brother after the death of her father. As often happened on coffin ships, her mother died en route, leaving the children to
fend for themselves. Compared to some, at 14 she had a better shot. She was put on an orphan train with her 10 year old brother and sent west. She was shoved off with nothing in western Pennsylvania, not even her little brother, who we hope found something somewhere. Who knows? No records.
