Individual Details

Michael HELBERT

(Abt 5 Oct 1883 - )

It is likely that Michael married and had a family as I believe I may have located a 1911 census record for him. Please see the notes for his father, James, above for details.

However, Ellis Island records show the arrival in New York on 15 February 1908 of a Michael Helbert from Castlerea, Co. Roscommon. He was 22 and was joining a cousin, John Gordon, in Washington, D.C. The name of his nearest relative in Ireland is given as Edward Morris, an uncle, of Clerragh, Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon. It is possible that this Michael is or Michael above, although our Michael's mother, as far as we know, did not have a brother named Edward. If the Michael Helbert who emigrated is indeed our Michael, then he may have returned to the farm in Clerragh a couple of years later (see notes on his father, James, above for more information). And if if was our Michael who emigrated, then it is possible that his cousin, John Gordon, who is mentioned on the Ellis Island record was his first cousin once removed who was the son of Thomas Gordon and Anne Foley.
