Hi: I haven't been able to figure out the distance between Moneen and Ballforan but I don't think it is too far - nothing is in Ireland. The closest large town on the way to Roscommon is Castlerea. In the opposite direction Tuam is the large town. You mentioned Ballinisloe and I can remember my mom speaking of that town. The names you mentioned do not sound familiar. I will keeping hunting my Keanes. Please email if you find a connection or any info and I will do the same. I think you posted that you were going to Galway shortly, hopefully you will return with many new leads/discoveries. Thanks, Kathy Pennsylvania USA
