AnneMarie, Do you know where your Dunne and McManus families are from? My husband's gg grandmother, Ellen Dunn, married John FitzGerald in Kildorrery RC Church in Cork in 1824. We have no other info on the Dunns. My great grandmother was Rose McManus from County Down. She married John Grant of Drumboniff townland Clonduff CP before 1850 (that when Clonduff RC Church records began). I've not noticed any McManuses in Clonduff parish but did in Kilcoo parish which borders Clonduff CP. Drumboniff townland actually borders the townlands of Kilcoo CP. I just noticed the Leonard name. My maternal grandparents (John Grant and Rose Morgan) settled in Pittsburgh, PA in 1906. My grandfather's two sisters, Roseann and Margaret Grant married two brothers, Richard and Patrick Quinn in 1891 in Pittsburgh. The Quinns had a sister Bridget who married Martin Leonard in Pittsburgh in 1880. Any connection? Thanks.

The Irish Soldier Boy is not in it, but I do have wonderful memories of Rockaway Beach, and the concerts at Jones Beach.
