Lawrence Francis McIntyre, Pedigree

The pedigree chart of Lawrence McIntyre shows all of his known ancestors are from Ireland, in particular the counties of Sligo and Mayo.  Unlike Lawrence's wife Helen, whose ancestors immigrated in the mid-1850s, Lawrence's parents were the immigrants, coming to Chicago in the early 1900s and marrying there in 1910.  During the late 1890s and early 1900s, the US experienced its greatest immigration with an average of one million immigrants arriving yearly.  Lawrence's parents were in that wave.
