Re: Delia Anna & Elenora Scanlan.
Hi Orla,
thank you for your interest in my quest. Although I can not find any record of her original entry to the US this was not Delia Anna's first arrival. When Peter Scanlan arrived in New York in 1898, Delia Anna, his sister, was his American contact and address, and Elenora, her niece who travelled with her was born in the US and was a daughter of Peter Scanlan, (or Patrick his brother.)So they were obviously visiting Ireland. Tony believes that it may have been for his grandfather's (Michael "Miko" Scanlan,Delia' brother)wedding, which took place in 1919.
Good luck with your search,
Ger.
