The Dunphy family first appears in my Little Bay records in 1884. They are Roman Catholic and seem to have come from the Avalon. They relocate to Nova Scotia in the mid 1890s likely for mining work at Glace Bay before finally ending up in the United States. The image is of Patrick and Katherine Dunphy and was submitted by Kathie Wager who is working on connections between the Sinnott, Foran, and Dunphy families. My Little Bay references to the Dunphy family are listed below with one variant spelling as Dumphey found in 1889.
