Dominick was born in Tournafulla in 1885.

At age 22 he sailed on the S.S. Umbria from Queenstown, Cork to New York. He arrived on June 2nd 1907.
He stayed with his cousin Robert Mulcahy (who also paid for the trip) at 410 w 53rd St. in NY.
He worked as a well tipped elevator operator in New York's Park Plaza hotel then retired to Tournafulla. He did not marry.

I have learned since writing this that Dominick was not a very nice charachter and actually thought about removing this page.
However I have decided to leave it, we have to take the good with the bad. Normally there are reasons why people turn out
the way they do and like it or not he is part of this family's history.
