Searching for information on Michael TIERNEY, born about 1834 in County Galway. I have no idea where, so I am starting with this list. His parents may have been Isabelle SHAUGHNESSY and Michael TIERNEY, Sr. Michael, Jr. supposedly came to the United States in 1850, arriving in New Orleans, Louisiana and making his way to Kansas City, Missouri. He married Honoria LARDNER 17 JAN 1875 in Kansas City. She was also from County Galway. Michael also had a brother Dennis TIERNEY who was born about 1848 in County Galway. Dennis came to the United States in about 1863 and also settled in Kansas City. I am looking for the birthplace of these people. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Linda

Linda, I have a gmother, CATHERINE TIERNEY DIVINEY from Galway, but later than your Michael. She was born 1867. I know she had a brother, Peter, who lived in HEADFORD, and another brother Daniel in DUBLIN. Her father is listed as PATRICK on her death cert. but no name for her mother. I just don't have enough information on her to go back to Ireland for any records. I know this isn't much help, but I thought I'd pass it on to you. We corresponded a while back...I still have your email!
