I keep watching for someone to write in with more recent FAY immigrants. My gggrandparents, Patrick and Ann Kelly Fay emigrated from Ireland 1840 and 1841. He from County Antrim and she from Galway. Looking for parishes of birth. Family lore says he left home to escape conscription and ended up in Galway where he married Ann. Suspect he may have brother(s) who also came to America. Know that Ann had a sister, Margaret Monahan in US. Family lived in Allegany Co, NY. Barb ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert W.
