    1. [BEARA] The other side of my family
    2. My grandfather Eugene F. Sullivan is included in a Lancaster Co Nebraska bio book dated 1888 that states that he had come to the US at age 9 (1859) and that he had married grandmother Bridget Sullivan in Fall River Ma in 1872. Coming to the US with him were his older brother Mortimer and younger sister Hannah. With Mr. O'Dwyers help it was decided that they were the children of Eugene Sullivan Brohill from Boher and Mary Sullivan. See page 166 of Allihies book. Family story says that they came to the US because their mother Mary had died and father Eugene remarried and had a child but Eugene died at about the same time and the stepmother sent them to the US. In the Allihies book also page 166 is recorded the marriage of Eugene and Abbey Sullivan (Shearhig). It is my belief that Abbey (Deborah) then married John Sullivan (Suonish) page 138. This couple is on the 1870 census of Huron Tnsp. Houghton Co Michigan with her child by my great grandfather Eugene. Meanwhile Jeremiah Bryne married Mary Sullivan (Brohill) page 162 and Eugene Sullivan was a witness. This couple are on the 1860 census of New Bedford Ma and Mortimer and Eugene Sullivan are living with them. I believe that Mary Sullivan Bryne was their aunt, the sister of their father. I know this is really more than you wanted to know. Teresa Sullivan Lincoln Ne
