House Hunting

By Fred Lynch in New London, Connecticut, USA

-from my ongoing sketch investigation of immigration and ancestry called Whence.

John Lynch was an uncertainty. Years after my great- grandfather Michael Lynch died young, the story goes, family visited old John Lynch in Southeastern Connecticut. Maybe in New London? Maybe in Norwich? He might have been blind. There was talk of a sister Mary Lynch, too, who might have lived down there. But no details were known - no certainty. This was back in the 1930’s or 40’s.

Research lead me to a 1940 census record placing a John Lynch and a Mary Lynch living together in this New London house. Here were a brother and sister - a widower and a spinster - old Irish immigrants - John and Mary Lynch. That day-trip to draw this single house changed everything. At New London’s city hall, I found proof that indeed these were my ancestors. I also found intriguing clues that I should drive on to Norwich. More research there revealed how little I knew about my immigrant ancestors.  

What I thought would be a single drawing of the last of the immigrant Lynches, was instead the first of many more to come. My family history had expanded in surprising ways.
