It looks like my Hughes family from Killoe, County Longford, may have used a typical Irish 'naming pattern'. James Hughes and Bridget Kelagher's sons were, in order of birth: ...Owen, James, Francis, and Bernard their daughters were, in order of birth: ...Catherine, Ann, Ellen, Bridget, Eliza, Marie, and Margaret >From this I would think that a GOOD GUESS might be that Owen would be name of the father of James Hughes, and Francis would be the name of the father of Bridget Kelagher also Catherine would be the name of Bridget's mother. Then the system breaks down because Ann and Eliza are between Catherine and Bridget. Question: What am I missing here? Thanks for the help, Charlie King gg grandson of James Hughes and Bridget Kelagher _____________________________________________________________ Start Email Marketing - fast, affordable, and measurable.

I am a ggg grandaughter of Charles Michael Hughes, married to a Sara[h] Smith {Smyth} unsure. Charles had at least one son, my gg grandfather, James, who was born in NY but his wife's obituary said Sarah McKeon (Hughes) of County Longford, Ireland., when she died in NY. James and Sarah had a set of twins (Justin & ??), as well as Peter, Catherine, James, and John Francis (my grandfather). I am trying to find any information I can on either Sarah, her family, or Charles Michael Hughes. If anyone has any suggestions, please help as I am at a brick wall at this point. Thanks.
