Dineen is an Irish surname. In 1880 a John Dineen was living in Sutter, Sacramento Co., CA with the Coyle family. John Dineen, boarder, b. Ireland, 35, farmer & both parents born Ireland. In 1900 a John Dinneen [how appears on Census] and family were living in San Francisco, San Francisco Co. John Dinneen, b. Ireland March 1845, marr 15 yrs, both parents born Ireland, occupation=N.S. [but don't know what that means]. Before I list his family, etc., do you know his parents names and when and where they were born? Maybe I can go back in the Censuses and find him living with his parents and where he was born. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
