If so and she was here about 1920, I’m wondering where she lived – she would have been at most 14 years old, but she’s not with my grandmother in any census. I tried looking for her in Brooklyn where some other Egans landed, but they’ve been elusive so far.

I think I need to look for more possible emigration records for her – perhaps the one I’ve thought might be her is another Egan cousin. (Also, I suppose she may not use Egan as a last name because of the circumstances of her birth in Ireland. I have a feeling she did, but should probably expand my search to reflect the possibility.)

Another kink in the chain: In those later photos of Elizabeth in NY she has glasses and a distinctive face – enough that I’m unsure if both sets of photos are the same person. [Grumble]

To add to that, I’ve got another photo from Ireland where someone wrote “Bessie Egan” on the back, but looks like might be another girl.

Guess I need to put up another post with all of them for comparison (and as cousin-bait!)

Hoping one day I can track down something definitive on her. I’ve recently found some more photos of her later in NY that are absolutely her – and she looks somewhat different. But as she’s several years older then and wearing glasses it’s just another Hmm at this point.

I will have to look again for her ears in those photos. (Now, that’s a sentence I don’t often use.)

Thanks for the blog compliment!
