Ford was also spelled Forde. Any and all responses welcome. The five Ford boys who emigrated settled in New Haven, CT, within a five-block radius of each other in Sacred Heart Parish. Bernard, my grandfather, was illiterate. His grandchildren have come a long, long way, thanks in part to the hard work of their parents, who were first-generation born in US.
