I want to wish all those linking in well and reach out to Riobard to take care of himself. I am reconnecting after some absence from the lively exchanges on this site. Quite recently, I have been able to learn more about my great grandmother Julia Harrington who migrated with her mother Honora Kelley Harrington to Fall River Mass in 1892. I have just learned that her father was Jeremiah Harrington and my suspicion is that he must have passed away and that led to the emigration. So I now know the names of both great great grandparents. And can add that Honora Kelley was born about 1837. Julia Harrington was born in the house that served as the post office in Castletownebere in 1874. I visited and stayed there with my distant cousin Julia Harrington in 1980 (Riobard may recall an exchange of emails on this topic some years back). That distant cousin has since passed away. I am now seeking information on Honora Kelley and Jeremiah Harrington as well as information on the rest of their children. Family anecdotes indicate that Julia's grandfather worked in the Alihies copper mines. My great grandmother married Eugene Sullivan from Bandon who migrated to Fall River from Bandon. Trying to piece together that side of the family tree is quite difficult since there were so many Sullivans in Fall River - over 350 by 1890. For those on the list, the other side of the family tree is composed of McDonough's and Powers who were already in Fall River by 1870 and some even in 1860. I have put together a good part of that family tree - if anyone is interested... Looking forward to your responses.
