Migration of the Dauane family

The 18th century saw the slow yet steady emigration of Irish families to British North America and the United States.

An examination of early immigration and passenger lists uncovered many early immigrants bearing the name Dauane: Bernard, Bridget, Daniel, Francis, Hugh, James, John, Martin, Mary, Michael, Patrick, Robert, Thomas, and William Doran, arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1865..
