A family starting point
Start here for Andrew’s father’s family. Records follow the Leaheys through Hoboken, Jersey City and Bayonne, where Dennis, John and Matthew worked on harbour boats and barges. A Templemore baptism is the leading Irish origin, but the register image still needs to be checked independently.
This group begins with Kevin Leahey and follows his parents and grandparents outward through their descendants and marriages.
Privacy: Living people are shown by name and relationships only. Their dates, places, work and life stories remain private.
This line begins with the earliest documented ancestor currently connected in the archive and moves down one generation at a time.
These recurring surnames are counted from the anchor people and their ancestors in the relation graph.
These places come only from records for people who are not living.
Family story
A likely Templemore baptism begins a journey through Syracuse, Jersey City and Bayonne, where records call Dennis a boatman and captain and identify a household of eighteen children, eleven still living in 1900.
Family story
John worked “On Boat,” died in 1887 in his mid-twenties, and shares a monument with his father Dennis; the 1880 census now proves their relationship by calling John “Son.”
Family story
John died in 1887, James in 1914, and eleven-month-old Margaret died only twelve days before her father—a repeated family loss across three generations.
