Long story short I mistakingly responded to a general post which I thought was from Michael Marren but in fact was from Ed O'Hara regarding Michael Marren of Ballyvary. Oh well. Anyway, thanks for filling in some information regarding the family ancestry. It was also great to find out where my grandmother Bridget Marren was from. Bridget and Patrick Feeney had 5 children (John, James, Peter, Martin and Mary). Both Bridget and Patrick had passed by the time I was born in 1949. I am the son of Martin and Betty and my siblings were Patsy, Betsy and Kathleen. My wife Annette and I were raised and resided in Northwest Indiana (Whiting, Hammond, Griffith) and a couple of years ago moved to Indianapolis. We have three daughters (Beth, Pam and Catherine). Didn't know about the murder. Did this occur a long time ago in Ireland? Great to finally communicate with a distant cousin from my grandmothers side. Had seen the name Jeffers on some old notes that one of! my uncles put together. Anyway, have a great trip to Ireland this August. I will hopefully get back soon and be able to visit Ballyvary. Have a great summer. Mark Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
