Fellow Researchers, My great great grandfather Michael HOULIHAN (or HOULAHAN) of County Tipperary immigrated to this country in 1850 with his wife Catherine and his five children, Michael (about 12) Catherine (about 10), Edward (7), Julia 4, and Nora (Hannorah or Honora) my great grandfather. They settled in South Adams MA. In 1858 they moved to Nebraska City, Otoe County, Nebraska. Nora married Martin RYAN another Irish immigrant (county unknown). He was my Grandpa Mike's father. Martin RYAN died when his son Michael RYAN was two. Nora remarried another Irish immigrant Andrew WHELAN (WHALEN). My great grandmother Catherine Elizabeth ("Kate") O'HERIN was born in Fairfax VA in 1857 to John J. and Ellen MURPHY O'HERIN (I have not yet found any real proof of this, but they were supposed to be from County Cork). John J. O'HERIN was a milkman in Washington D.C during the Civil War. 1n the late 1860's the O'HERINS moved to Forbes, Holt County MO. Catherine married William GAFFNEY, an immigrant from County Limerick. Bye for now, Gail Possum Hill Farm
