| Ancestry Network. April 2025. |
Following yesterday's post testing Ancestry's new Networks tool on my Thornhill case, I have started to build out a network based on Irish immigrants in La Salle County, Illinois in the 1850 US Census. My hope is this will identify research leads on the family of my 3rd-great-grandmother Bridget. Last June I looked at Timothy Hanley, a neighbor of Bridget in the 1850 Census entry. Using the Networks tool, I've added him and his brother Thomas Hanley, and am continuing to build out the network with other Irish immigrant neighbors. I suspect several of them will be from Roscommon and Longford in Ireland.
In addition, I created a custom tag "Irish in La Salle Network" on each entry so that anyone who stumbles on these people in my tree will see that I've put them in a network. Networks are still in Beta and not visible to others.
This is still work in progress.
