From Conception Harbour to Philadelphia (2010)
Cass Trahey was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA by parents from Conception Harbour, Newfoundland who immigrated to the USA to be iron workers during the sky scraper building boom in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and New York at the beginning of the last century. She only returned to Newfoundland in retirement to explore her family history and as many describe, “a sense of where you came from.”
