    No, you are but unfortunately you don't have enough info on the family yet to be able to find connections & the chances are slim anyway. I suggest you have a read of our US genealogy sticky which has ideas on ways to further research. You need to find a place in Ireland that they came from.

    Any idea when she migrated to USA?, was she married to Mr Henderson in Ireland or US?

    Henderson and McClure would likely narrow it down to Ulster though ?

    Hi, I think you need to work backwards on the US side first, as there are a better chance for records :- Marriage cert / Naturalisation papers / local newspaper for Death Notices etc
