Thanks so much for the info. I'll pass it along to the Hainley's I've found so far. I sure have wondered how my mom could be all German if her mother was Irish! LOL Love those family stories! Seems you've helped make the connection. I did notice that most of the Irish Hanleys, Hainley's came after the Ballykilcline evictions. I have contacted Pam to see if we can firm up the connection. Thanks everyone!
