Quote from a letter written by a descendant of Winnifred Lang's people:
"Winifred was born in 1832 in Co. Sligo, daughter of farmer Thomas Lang and Ann Crystal. Winnifred came to the US in 1847 with her brothers Patrick, Michael and Andrew. It took 8 weeks to sail to Boston. They settled in Eldorado Twp. Wisconsin. She married Mark Crane of Eldorado Wisconsin. This voyage was as bad as when our Crains immigrated: long trip and they ran out of food for the last 3 days. Some children were ill upon arrival, but somehow passed immigration inspection.

Patrick Lang married Kate Fallon and moved to Waseca before 1868. Due to family problems, he moved back to Wisconsin to live with Winnifred where he died in 1891. I have no idea what happened to wife Kate.

Michael was a widower when he married Bridgid McDonough Noonan (a widow lady born in Co.Roscommon) in 1855 in Brown county MN. Bridgid died in 1865 in Rochester Minnesota. She had a sister named Anna McBride.

Andrew met and married a widow: Ann McLaughlin born in Co. Sligo. They were married in Fond du Lac and moved to Waseca County MN to be near Andrew's brothers.

Another sister, Ann Lang, came to the US later and she married a Patrick Foley in Waseca 1868. Now we know why our Atty's sons John and Tim went to Waseca......they had relatives there."
