I just re-found this website and am just as enamoured with our history as I was initially, and just as astounded that I had made the decission to become a historian even before knowing that this was the task appointed to our lineage.
My family came to America in the mid 1800s and started with Thomas McGrath and his son Joseph McGrath who was married to Bridgit Lane. Im not sure where they came from in Ireland, and Im not sure what it was exactly that brought them to America, none the less the name McGrath was changed to McCrate on the ride over for that branch of the family and its fairly safe to say that any McCrate in America is a direct decendant of the McGrath line through Joseph McGrath. |
