Many thanks to Jim and the others. My ancestors came from Bere Island, I have been waiting ten years to hear anything about the island!! Patrick Michael O'Dwyer came over in 1876 and a little after that Michael Mahoney, they lived in Kansas City, Missouri. Cousin Mahoney worked his way up to become Fire Chief of Kansas City. Cousin Julia Moriarty O'Sullivan was Post Mistress for many years. I understand the little post office was just about next to the church.
