I'd be pleased to hear from anyone with information on ROANE / RUANE from Colemanstown (near Athenry) c. 1830-1870. My ancestor, John P. Roane came to Lowell, Massachusetts before 1859 and died back in Colemanstown, Co. Galway in 1869. Also, HURNEY / HARNEY & variants. My g-g-grandmother's obit said there were 14 children in her family - I have 7 of them (and parents, Martin and Bridget [Fahey] Hurney) in Lowell, Massachusetts from about 1853. I suppose the others were left (or died) in Ireland, - would love to find relatives and the townland. Thanks for your help! Christine Roane cmroane@cool-universe.com
