Two of my great-granduncles, Reverend Bernard Plunkett and Reverend Peter H. Plunkett, grew up in the same Red Hook, Brooklyn household and both became Catholic priests in the 1870s and 1880s. Both died young. Bernard at thirty-two in 1883. Peter H. at thirty, on his birthday, in 1886. Three years apart, buried in the same cemetery. The records give me ordination dates, parish assignments, and death certificates. What they cannot give me is the why. This week for #52Ancestors Week 19, I am sitting with that question: what drew two sons from the same family to the same vocation, and what does it mean when genealogy can place a man in a seminary and a grave but cannot enter the decision that put him there?
