Hi Betty: I haven't come across the McDERMOTT name yet but the information I have on the CONNOLLYs is from Co. Galway... I have Mary CONNOLLU getting married to Patrick ROONEY in Craughwell, Co. Galway on 2/14/1858. Their children were born in Cahercrin, Co. Galway. Do you have any other locations listed beside the Galway that you mentioned?
