Surnames: Flynn, Lavin/Lavan, Cowley, Dowling, Hogan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4dW.2ACEB/1488 Message Board Post: My husbands great-great-grandfather Michael Flynn was the seccond oldest of seven children born to Michael Flynn and Bridget Lavin or Lavan( maybe Mary Bridget), in Roscommon, Ireland about 1938. The whole family emmigrated to the U.S. in 1859 through New York. About 1860-1862 the elder Michael Flynn died, and most of the family moved to Central City Colorado. Bridget died in Colorado. His sister Mary married a Mike Cowley, and his sister Anna was in Central City, also. When great-grandfather Michael died in 1910 in Montana, his obituary refers to two sisters living in Albany, NY. I do not know their names. I have the names of some Flynns who were in Central City at the same time as our Flynns, but have no way to link them to Michael. If any of this sounds familiar to anyone, I would like to hear from them.

Yesterday, AOL began blocking some of the Rootswebs lists (on server 5, some of the Irish lists) and Rootsweb felt the situation would be resolved within the normal 24 hours but today they are lost blocking lists on server 2. What will happen is after three bounces, you will be removed from the list. Please do not resub until the situation is resolved. You can check the list's mail by going access the list's archives. To keep aware of the situation, please check the Rootsweb Help Desk at: http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ While I am at it, Rootsweb has begun to unsub all those with ATTBI email addresses because ATTBI mail is going to be discontinued soon. So, if you find you have been unsubbed, you can either resub with your new Comcast address or write me off list and I will resub you. However, I need both the new address and the list's name. Sorry, for all this inconvenience. AOLers, I suggest you write to the powers to be at AOL and complain. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, list admin http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton AV2005

His parents names were Daniel Flynn, and Bridget Coffey (but that's all I know about them & would like to know more). I know he had a Brother John (aka: Jack). Wonderening if he had other sibblings. I think there are relatives still in Ireland & would love to find them.

Surnames: O'Herrin, Flynn, Scanlan, Haas Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4dW.2ACEB/1484 Message Board Post: Wondering if anyone has information on the FLYNN families who were pioneers of Oak Creek, Milwaukee Co., Wisconsin area. BLM shows JOHN FLYNN purchasing acreage in Oak Creek in December, 1840. It is believe he arrived in the area between 1838-1839. He is found in the 1840 census of what was then Lake, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Territory. There were five member in his family. 1850 Oak Creek census shows: JOHN FLYNN, 75, Farmer, b. Ireland John Flynn, Jr., 29, Farmer, b. Ireland Sarah Flynn, 19, b. Ireland Bridget Flynn, 2, b. WI (daug of John Jr. & Sarah)?? Theodore Flynn, 7, b. 1843, WI (son of John Sr.)?? William Flynn, 11, b. 1839, NY (son of John Sr.)?? ---- John Sr., also had a daughter MARY FLYNN, b. 1810-1812, Ireland. She married JAMES O'HERRIN, who was also born in Ireland. They too purchased land in Oak Creek, adjacent to the Flynn's, in Dec. 1840. They are shown to be in Oak Creek in 1838. The O'Herrin's did live in Illinois for a short period, prior to arriving in Oak Creek (Their son Thomas was born in IL in 1837). --- the 1860 census for Oak Creek finds: John Flynn, 81, Farmer, b. Ireland Sara Flynn, 26, Farmeress, b. Ireland Bridget Flynn, 11, b. Wisconsin John Flynn, 9, b. Wisconsin Thomas Flynn, 6, b. Wisconsin --- I cannot find any of the FLYNN's in the 1870 census of Oak Creek, or anywhere else. However, the 1869 and 1876 plats for Oak Creek show that they still owned the land. --- 1880 Census for Oak Creek finds: Sarah Flynn, 46, Farmeress, b. Ireland, parents b. Ireland John Flynn, 27, Farmer, b. Wisconsin Thomas Flynn, 25, Catholic Priest, b. Wisconsin Patrick Flynn, 70, brother-in-law, Farm Labor, b. Ireland NOTE: The 1860 census shows Patrick Flynn was living with James & Mary Flynn-O'Herrin family, as Farm Labor. --- The Oak Creek plats show Flynn's owning the land, or a portion of it, thru 1961, although I'm assuming they owned the land but did not live on it as I have been unable to find them in any of the other census'. --- One last bit of information: JOHN FLYNN and JAMES O'HERRIN each donated 3 acres of their land to the Catholic church for the building of St. Matthew's Catholic Church & Cemetery. This was done in March of 1843, per BLM records. If anyone has any information on these families, I could love to hear from you.

Surnames: FLYNN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4dW.2ACEB/1229.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Joan/Jerry I am replying to this thread hoping you will both see it. I am helping my friend with his family research -- he is also a Flynn and is from Pittston. I just started his research so I do not know too much; however, his family may or may not be the Flynn's you are seeking. In 1910 his family resided on Searle St (a block away from Parsonage). head of household was John Francis Flynn (43), wife Mary (37), children Sarah(Sadie) (15), Mary (17), Beatrice(10), Josephine(9), Patrick(14), John (7), Thomas (6). The wife, Mary, is believed to have died in 1938 - John preceeded her in death, possibly in an accident at the railroad. If that is the case, it is very possible Mary and Sadie were living together on Parsonage around 1930. Any link?

Hi Noel: From the information on the Ellis Island Records, Mary immigrated to the U.S. (Jersey City) to meet up with her sister "Annie" in Jersey City, who was already living there. Mary's passage was paid "by her sister".

My gx3 grandfather was Denis Sullivan born 1816 in Kilmocomoge Parish, Bantry, Co. Cork, Ireland..he married my gx3 grandmother Catherine Flynn born 1817 in Kilmocomoge Parish, Bantry, Co. Cork, Ireland. I know they married August 31 1834 at St. Michael's Catholic Chuch in the Parish of Allihies. They immigrated approximately 1844-45 though I have not yet been able to find the ship they sailed on. They arrived in Canada and made their way to Wisconsin, where they put down roots. This is all information that my great grandfather-James Fitzpatrick Sullivan tracked down and I have not been able to add to it yet. I do know that Catherine had a brother named Thomas Flynn. I found that information because my gx2 grandfather James Patrick Sullivan was in the Civil War in the same company as his uncle 'Tommy'. There is a book written from some of James Patrick's writings called "An Irishman in the Iron Brigade", which I purchased from Amazon...That is the only additional information I have been able to find on the Flynns in my line...

Greetings from mandurah. Ive just found out that my John Flynn, born 1825 at Cahir, had a brother who was a Catholic priest who went to the USA during the Irish famine. Their parents are believed to have been John and Mary. John Flynn, who came to Australia in 1862, had married Catherine Hogan Foley at the Clougheen Community Hall which was formerly the Shanrahan Church of Ireland. Can anyone shed any light on any of this, please? Many thanks Lorraine
