My Irish Roots

 My Irish Surnames: 

Brady, Coyle, Cunningham, English, Hogan, Mullane, Sullivan




My Irish roots are mostly connected to my maternal grandmother's family. My Nana was born in New York City but her parents were from Ireland. Her father, Michael Coyle, would open all their New York City's apartment's windows on St. Patrick's Day. He would play Irish songs on the piano and sing loudly. His wife would complain of the noise. He would say he wanted everyone to know they were Irish! I cannot play a piano and my singing is not good but I do share Michael's thoughts. I do want everyone to know I am Irish!


Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

My Nana,

Helen Francis (Coyle) Gardner

1897 NY - 1965 NY

Daughter of:

Michael Coyle & Mary Josephine Mullane
