• Notes

  Baptism: September 05, 1878, St. Michael Catholic Church, New Orleans - Sponsors were Patrick Donegan and Mary Donegan. I found that Mary Forrey (DOB 8/16/1878) and Winnie (Regina Winifred) Forrey (DOB 8/22/1880) were both admitted to the St. Vincent's Infant Orphan Asylum in New Orleans on August 14, 1884. The Affidavit was signed by Ann Donegan (godmother) and stated that the mother was unable to care for them and find employment. It also stated that the father was dead. According to the Archdiocese of New Orleans, a notation was made that both girls were sent to the New Orleans Female Orphan Asylum in 1886, although there was no entry of their admission in their records. I've talked with a Michael Donegan in New Orleans and have been e-mailing with a Jerry Donegan in New Orleans and they have both given me quite a bit of information on the Donegans. They seem to believe that the Donegans were from County Meath in Ireland. This is the first clue I have gotten as to where Mary Grace may have been from in Ireland. Since they were cousins, perhaps they were from the same County. I'll keep researching! There is a George Donegan who is going to send me all of the information he has on the Donegans and he said that he has some information on Mary Grace also. There is no way to know what happened to these girls while they were in the orphanage.
