I would be interested in any descendants for Patrick Nelly / Nally and Margaret Joynt-the both died in Beagh Parish, Galway, Ireland; however some of the children came to Iowa. The surname was always spelled Nelly in Ireland church registers and the census; however after coming to U.S. the surname was always spelled Nally. Margaret Joynt was my great grandfather's sister and the only child of David Joynt and Bridget McDermott to remain in Ireland. I have Perril descendants still in Beagh; however he shows no interest in family. Margaret "Baby" Geoghan Nelly was still living in Beagh a couple of years ago, but died last year. McManus descendants live in Wexford and we visited with them in Dublin a few years back. Also trying to find descendants of those from Beagh parish: http://home.att.net/~labaths/beaghparish.htm has further info on Beagh parish, Galway http://home.att.net/~labaths/births.htm has baptisms from Beagh RC parish 1855-56 http://home.att.net/~labaths/griffith.htm Heads of household from Beagh-griffiths.
