I am looking for the Irish home town of my family. My grandfather is named Patrick Henry Kirby (born c1875). He was a son of John Kirby and Honora Ferguson Kirby. Supposingly they came from County Mayo. This is the story my father told to me. ----My gandfather killed an Englishman or an British sympathizer. He tried to go to France but found they had an extradiction treatry with Great Britain. So he excaped to Canada and then came to the US where he joined up with Roosevelt in the Spanish American War so he could get a fast citizenship. He then moved to Massachusetts. If I could find out a way to get a hold of Irish history of late 1890s I could perhaps locate our ancestral town. Anyway I am trying all avenues.
