Following up on my own request... I found information which would indicate that my gg grandmother might have been Mary Swanzy, born between 1783 and 1791. Her father, Samuel Swanzy (attorney in Swanville) and her mother, Lucinda Bolton (from County Wexford) were married in 1782... Does this scenario make sense to anyone ??? -----Original Message----- From: Dick and Mary Kiernan [mailto:rmalcolmk@prodigy.net] Sent: Saturday, November 25, 2000 10:24 PM To: IRL-MONAGHAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Family History on Kiernan, Swanzy and Malcolm Kiernan, Swanzy and Malcolm Looking for information on Keirnan or Kiernan family from County Monaghan (maybe County Femanagh or County Cavan)... My great-grandfather, John Swanzy Kiernan, left Ireland for Canada in 1860 from the Glasslough area (Parish of Trough) in County Monaghan. He had lived in the Parish of Drumsnat (County Monaghan) earlier. He was a farmer and a teacher... He was Church of Ireland . Also looking for Swanzy and Malcolm from Monaghan (and maybe Fermanagh or Cavan)... John Swanzy Kiernan (or Keirnan), Married Mary Malcolm (or Meaclem or something close) in Naghill Townland of Drumsnat Parish in 1834... It is possible (likely) that his mother's maiden name was Swanzy (maybe Mary Swanzy or Eliza Swanzy???) Thanks Dick Kiernan
