Thanks, Sharon!!! I have a Callahan line in Missouri. But I have no idea where in Ireland he came from or what his name was. His grandson Elias Kelly Callahan was born in the late 1850's. I with no computer, believe his father's name was John or James. What his father's name is is now totally unknown except that he came from Ireland and his wife from PA. Thanks again. That Mahon and Scanlon are my names, but cannot connect them to my family now. Considine name was a neighbor of my Scanlan's. Alanna
