Francis Parrat, my 8x great-grandfather, arrived in America back in 1638. He was part of a big group of followers of Reverend Ezekiel Rogers who came to the Massachusetts from Rowley, #Yorkshire, England. They founded #Rowley MA and he lived on this land (before this house).

Jimmy O’Keefe came to #Providence from Ireland in 1906. He was bricklayer and my mother’s uncle. He tap danced at their wedding using a section of wooden flooring that he brought with him for tap performances often accompanied by his older brother Mike, who played the accordion.

This is the Fairbanks House in #Dedham, Massachusetts. Built in 1636, it is the oldest wood framed house in North America. My immigrant ancestor John Guild probably knew these fellow Puritan neighbors.

The Oak Street house where the Kellys lived for many years is gone. A highway mowed down their neighborhood. I’ve had a lot of trouble finding out what happened to the children after the death of their parents around 1930. All that remains are the mills of #Olneyville.

BIRTHPLACE This was my first home; it’s in the Valley Falls section of #Cumberland #RhodeIsland . My parents rented it from about 1962-1966. The house was built in 1937 for a couple of immigrants from County Tyrone. Their daughter was my aunt.

Soon after her husband died in 1898, my great-grandmother Mary Sullivan Lynch moved into this mill house in Norwich, Connecticut, with her son Timothy. This was one of a number of identical brick houses, built by the Yantic River in 1855 for workers of the big Falls Textile Co.

This stone wall spanning across the Yantic River may be the foundation of the Lynch story in the US—a sort of Plymouth Rock. It’s in a wooded area, under a little now-closed bridge, on a dead-end street, in rural Lebanon, Ct. Michael Lynch came here with his young family in 1858.

For over a thousand years, pilgrims have passed by on one of Europe’s oldest routes, the #ViaFrancigena, which can take you from Canterbury to Rome. I’ve seen many faithful backpackers trudging by. Resting in #Viterbo, pilgrims know that Rome is but one week’s walk away.

On the front door of this house in #Providence are a bunch of bumper stickers. One says, “We Were All Immigrants Once.” It's fitting, considering my Irish immigrant ancestor lived here in 1919. Another says, “I Support The Campaign for Immigrant Rights.” But, in black marker...
