I know my grandmother was Kathleen Mcweeny, of the town Crummy, Parish Kiltrubbrid, County Leitrim. She was the oldest of nine children, born 1903. Her mother's name was Brigid O'Neill (not sure of the spelling). She emigrated to New York in the 1920's. Any info? [email protected]

I am having much trouble tracing my Quinn family back to Leitrim, but I was able to ascertain that a Hugh Quinn lived in the hamlet Curaghapooha and living in the household was a Thomas Gallagher, nephew, age 10, born 1811, so I assumed Thomas's mother had been a Quinn and had married a Gallagher, as no other Gallagher lived in the house and that Thomas's mother was probably dead. Does your Gallagher family have a Thomas his age ?

My maternal greatgrandparents, Ellen Cassidy and Mick Flynn went to Scotland somewhere in the late 1890s-early 1900s. I have tried to search for them on the Scots-origins site in the census , but I didn't come up with a definitve match; it was complicated by the fact that they may have been living separately since they were there to find whatever work was available.When they returned they opened a shop in Dowra. Interestingly there were a number of other Cassidy shopowners in the same area; I wonder if they were related ? They took three of their daughters to Scotland with them, and now that I think about it; I'm not sure that they all returned to Ireland or when. Eventually all 3 ended up in Scotland permanently: Maggie Findlater and Agnes McGloughlin in Edinborough, and Mary Kate McPadden in Glasgow. Ellen's brother Pat Cassidy went to Scotland with his family to live as did her sister Mary McDermott. My mother's father, Michael Keegan, died in Edinborough in the influenza epidemic in 1918. Years later, when my grandmother gave birth to her last child, Eugene McGowan, she did so in Scotland.

Dear Nancy, I apologize for any inconvenience I caused you by our spam-blocker being in place. My husband installed this since I last put any queries out and I had completely forgotten about it until you wrote. Since we get hundreds of spams without it, he is not too amenable to removing it and I am not too keen on not being able to make any more queries. Can you send replies to the list or is there another answer I'm missing? I'm obviously not an e-mail tech person.

Can anyone tell me if there were people from Wales who came into Leitrim in the late 1700's or at any time? When I asked my father why our name was Whitten if we were Irish (and not O'Whitten!) he said his Grandmother always said the name was of Welsh derivation. I have traced Whittens back in Kinlough to early 1800's and they may possibly have been at the other end of Lake Melvin before then. Would there have been any reason for an influx from Wales at that time? I'm interested in any information on the Postmasters William and Charles Whitten and their families or Hamilton Blair family . With regards, Joyce B.

The little information I have, if true, leaves a lot of unanswered questions. This is what I have: Robert (O'Reilly) Reily- Born: in County Cavan, Ireland. Came to America in 1764. Wife: Ann. Received 100 acres land- Bounty given by Act of Gen. Assembly passed 25 July, 1761, in Craven Co., S.C.. Leased land in 1764 to Matthew Neilson in St. Mark's Parish, Craven Co., South Carolina. Died 23 Nov. 1782, Camden District, South Carolina. Father of Samuel Reily (04 Mar. 1767 - 12 May 1822). Looking for any information in Ireland. Family. Name may have been spelled different. But a direct connection. Relatives that may have come to USA using a different name: Parents, brothers, sisters (maybe married), Uncles, etc. O'Reilly- O'Reily- Reilly- Rileigh- etc. Did he come to this country from Ireland or somewhere else? When did he come to USA? Did he land in South Carolina or somewhere else. What was Ann's maiden name? Where was she from? Where did they marry? Did they have more than one child? Location of last residence and is his grave site known? Then there is Samuel--- I have several accounts on him. There does not seem to be much information on the first two generations, of Reilys, in the USA, and no contacts or connection to where they came from. I run in to a dead end everywhere I look. Do you know of any web sites, books or contacts? If you can help please contact me. Thanks, Wain Reily Columbus, Mississippi

Bill at [email protected] writes: << Is there another Leitrim in Ireland? >> Bill, There are lots of them. 29 townlands of Leitrim are listed in many counties (but probably several of these are divided by civil parish and therefore have earned an additional listing). There are 3 civil parishes of Leitrim - in Cork, Galway and Waterford, and a barony of Leitrim in Co. Galway (in addition to the one in Co. Leitrim).
