Absolutely Amy Anne: Ireland in 1830-1850
http://absolutelyamyanne.blogspot.com/2010/03/ireland-in-1830-1850.html
Anne Hoey Nolan's life and the stories of and about her many descendants. Monday, March 1, 2010. I visited Kilcumnin in 1984, with my grandmother, my family, and my aunt (my mom's sister) and her family. It was rustic and lovely. I wonder what this town looked like when Anne was a girl. Ireland is a rainy country; today, County Mayo likely gets 250 days of rain a year, I guess it is safe to assume it rained a lot. I gather from my reading that when the potato famine hit, it hit the western areas of Irela...

Absolutely Amy Anne: What was it like where they lived?
http://absolutelyamyanne.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-was-it-like-where-they-lived.html
Anne Hoey Nolan's life and the stories of and about her many descendants. Monday, March 22, 2010. What was it like where they lived? I had a massive writers block for this blog; I have several posts and ideas fleshed out - like 1/3 done - but none are ready for prime-time, so I asked Hannah what questions she had. Her question is the topic - "what was it like where they lived? So, she is wondering what life was like for kids like her, many years ago. I don't have perfect answers, but we can guess. The Be...

Absolutely Amy Anne: Anne gave birth 10 times...
http://absolutelyamyanne.blogspot.com/2010/04/anne-gave-bith-10-times.html
Anne Hoey Nolan's life and the stories of and about her many descendants. Thursday, April 1, 2010. Anne gave birth 10 times. That we know about. My wondering about her birthing experiences persists- to the point that I have begun having dreams that I am pregnant (let's not tell Tom about that) but, I suspect, that my grandmother knew nothing about Anne's pregnancies and labors because that would not have been discussed. Hence, these stories are gone. I try below to imagine some what 'might have been':.

Absolutely Amy Anne: What happened to Anne's Aunt - Anne Edwards?
http://absolutelyamyanne.blogspot.com/2010/02/what-happened-to-annes-aunt-anne.html
Anne Hoey Nolan's life and the stories of and about her many descendants. Thursday, March 4, 2010. What happened to Anne's Aunt - Anne Edwards? I have ALWAYS wondered what happened to the Aunt - who sent for Anne to live with her! So, Anne Hoey set off for America to join her Aunt Anne - but seemingly never saw her again! My grandmother's story says that Anne left Ireland and married John Edwards. I decided to approach this research as if Anne McConnel traveled single. After plowing through all t...Thus ...

Absolutely Amy Anne: Anne's occupation was "maid"
http://absolutelyamyanne.blogspot.com/2010/02/annes-occupation-in-1870-census-was.html
Anne Hoey Nolan's life and the stories of and about her many descendants. Friday, February 19, 2010. Anne's occupation was "maid". These girls had left a culture and society that nurtured and in many cases, expected female independence. Irish literature and narratives of the time tell tales of women holding their own against men in battles of wit; a diminutive quiet lady was not the typical Irish dame. I think the combination of culture shock, added to innate or learned feistiness (and we can perhaps ass...

Absolutely Amy Anne: Mary Nolan Gagan (1865-1935)
http://absolutelyamyanne.blogspot.com/2012/07/mary-nolan-gagan-1865-unknown.html
Anne Hoey Nolan's life and the stories of and about her many descendants. Sunday, July 8, 2012. Mary Nolan Gagan (1865-1935). I am in the midst of documenting two more members of the family tree, Mary Nolan Gagan and her husband John William Gagan. Each project is a work in progress- am still seeking documents and further evidence - but in the spirit of keeping my records in order, I am writing up what I have thus far right now. Mary Nolan (b: 1865 - d: after 1930 and before 1940) was Ann(e) Hoey Nolan'.

Absolutely Amy Anne: Ellis Island.. Actually, Castle Garden
http://absolutelyamyanne.blogspot.com/2012/09/ellis-island-actually-castle-garden.html
Anne Hoey Nolan's life and the stories of and about her many descendants. Monday, September 24, 2012. Ellis Island. Actually, Castle Garden. Nan's story tells us that Ann(e) Hoey was processed at Ellis Island. If she arrived in New York in 1847 as our story suggests, she would have not have gone to Ellis Island -but instead, I think she would have entered via Castle Garden. Via Castle Garden's web site, a search for Anne Edwards. The name we believe Anne traveled under - returns her on the Emma Prescott.

Absolutely Amy Anne: Ice Skates for Christmas
http://absolutelyamyanne.blogspot.com/2010/06/ice-skates-for-christmas.html
Anne Hoey Nolan's life and the stories of and about her many descendants. Thursday, June 21, 2012. Ice Skates for Christmas. Nan's story tells of the passing of two of Anne Hoey's boys. I always found this part of the story heartbreaking; I would think of each Christmas (I still do now) and wonder how the family ever came through such a horrific experience. There were two boys. My grandmother's story notes that a baby who died - Thomas - is also buried in Calvary. I found an entry in the March 17 1869 Da...
