Dear Robert,
I don't have the answer to your question/discussion, however, I have a GG-GF: Philip Furlong from Co. Wexford, born Jan 1825, who immigrated to the USA (not sure which port) in abt 1839-41 (however, that would make him 13-15 y/o). He very soon made Chicago his home and raised a large family there with Ellen Caufield-Furlong.
I have nothing on siblings or parents for either one of these relatives going back to their immigration, or Co. Wexford, and I have searched off and on for 15 years or more, and have cousins who have gone to Dublin and Wexford to do the same research but have come up blank.
I hope that be reaching out with our Furlong families there might be a DNA connection that pops up. Best to you,
Colleen Erdmann
