My Irish ancestors arrived in New York City sometime during the 1860's and prior to the 1870 census records. This is based
on the ages of the children and the information obtained in the Census Records.
Thomas and Mary Hoar first appear in the 1870 Census records with 3 children, Thomas, William and Elizabeth "Eliza". In the next census, taken
in 1870 there are 2 additional children in the family, John and Walter. The older son, Thomas, who would be approximately 15 years old is not shown
with the family.
It is back through son Walter that I trace my lineage.
Walter married Julia Manning in New York City in about 1898 according to information in the census records. Julia was the mother of 6 children, 2 of
which died during childhood. The surviving children were; Christropher, Helen, Veronica and Thomas. Oldest sister, Mary and next to youngest son James
died as children.
Daughter, Helen Margaret, born in 1902, was my grandmother. She married Joseph Francis Anselmini, born in NYC in 1900. Records indicate that these families
lived in the same general vicinity on the East side.
Helen and Joseph had 4 children, Joseph, Gloria, Edward and Robert. It is through Gloria and her marriage to Willie James Barnhill, my parents, that I descend.
