Sean, I'd like to compare our Brosna Sheehans----they sure re-used names, didn't they??!!! My family line is; Barth SHEEHAN,Morto,Daniel b. 1876 (my grfa)--Of Kilmanihan West, Brosna. I have some of the Brosna records--which Sheehan line is yours? There were 2 Morto's having children in this time; Morto & Ellen (my line) and a Morto & Johanna--this line in in the IGI as well as a record of my Mary Sheehan (Morto & Ellen)--I think it is an extraction from Caseys. Morto & Ellen had 3 children: 1)Mary, b. 1874; 2) Daniel b. 1876 & Murt b 1878-79. Daniel & Mary came to Ohio in 1893; Murt stayed. On the 1901 Irish Census, Morto & Ellen had the following children living with them: Mary Barrett 'adopted dau' 1&1/2 or 7& 1/2yo John Keane 'adopted son' 7 & 1/2yo Mary O'connor 'neice' 19yo (houseservant) Are any of these name familiar?? When I visited Ireland 2 years ago I saw the Brosna RC Church records--my family wasn't there (except Murt's marriage)...and the records seemed very thin to me--like some had to be missing. Altho Knocknagaschal RC church didn't split off till 1917 I understand that the local chapel records may have gone to K'nagaschal; or maybe to diocese archives. I was unable to pursue this. Hope to hear from you--can't help but think that the Sheehans of Brosna were related somehow.
