Planning a future trip to the Mount shannon area for family research. Is there anyone out there that lives in this beautiful town? We are most interested in visiting St. Caimins Catholic church in Mountshannon. The only record of our family existing in Ireland is a birth record for son Edmund Omalley born to Thomas and Mary Noonan Omalley on Jan. 27th, 1846. I found that Father Patrick Omeally was the PP at the time and was instrumental in the building and designing of this church. Father Patrick was assigned to the diocese of Killaloe. Our ancestor Thomas has given his residence in Ireland as Galway, Clare and Tipperary so we are pretty sure that he kept within the Killaloe boundries as well. Possibly traveling with his brother Patrick from parish to parish. I just want to connect the dots and get as much information in the Mountshannon area as I can prior to arriving in Ireland. I thought if someone lived in the area they might give me more information about this church and its history. I have found some info on the internet, but was hoping that maybe the church put out a pamphlet of its history at an anniversary celebration at some time. Any suggestions of good places to see and visit while there? Any suggestions would be most welcome... Debbie
