Leitrim-Roscommon

Hello -

I have some ancestors from Currane, Ballintuber, Roscommon.

Mary Ellen Leech, b. 6 April 1895
Jessie Leech, b. abt 1894

These girls emigrated in 1914 through Ellis Island to Troy, New York.

And the are related to an uncle Patrick Doherty.

Can some one help me on locating additional information on this family?

Thank you
Ed
