Dear Ms McIvor
I enclose the post cards as
arranged with you on your
visit to Colin Glen Library.
these cards were sent by
tree Brothers, Frank, Neal
& Michael Rogers to my uncle
Patrick Bloomer & some to my
dad - Daniel Bloomer.The
brothers were born in the
Sixmilecross/Ballygawley area
around the 1880's. Their name
was McCrory but was changed to
the anglicised form of the name
on emigration to New York.
Frank married an Irish girl & lived
& died in New York in the 1940's.
Michael married an Irish girl too.
He returned to Ireland in the
1930/40's and died in Co Leitrim in
1940's. Neal joined the American
Army in 14/18 War.He died of Cholera
in France 1919.
One card written by Neal Rogers was
posted in Liverpool & so it would
appear he travelled to New York
through that port.
If these cards are of use to the Centre
Of Migration Studies you are welcome
to have them.
Yours faithfully
Maureen Bloomer
