In 1870 Connecticut a James Grimes, age 24, was living in the home of my Maher family. Other surnames also came through their home and those connected to them in the post-emigration censuses. Unfortunately I can't tell you the exact place. I'm scouring for that too. Grimes was not there after the 1870 census. -Janet On 5/26/09 5:58 PM, "Calhoun Joanne" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello List - I am helping a good friend who is visually impaired put together > some genealogy of her GRIMES and LEAHY ancestors c 1870 on. > > My friend insists that the families were from Thurles; however, the marriage > record I just found states Parish/District Moyne, Address: Lisheen and it took > place in the RC Church of Monynetemple.
