Annie Update

Here's the latest I've heard on Annie Moore (first immigrant through Ellis Island) from a good friend in Ireland:

There is a proposal before Cork City Council to erect a plaque to Annie on the lane where she lived, Rowland's Lane. This is where no. 2 is still standing and which is as far as I know the only house where she lived in is still left standing. The occupants of the house are traveling to New York for a few days and are going to Ellis Island, etc.

It also seems that the fund-raising efforts for her memorial are going very well!
