My g.mother, Johanna Ryan (Shea) was born c. 1868 to Patrick (c. 1845) and Mary (c.1840). In her prayer book she wrote "Johanna Ryan; Carhue; Co. Tipp.; Ireland". She had older sibs, William and Julia, and younger sibs John and Winifred. Her mother's name could possibly have been Fahey/Fahy. All the above came to the States in 1883 and settled in Cohoes, NY., with the exception of Julia, who married James Burke in Ireland, and settled in Chicago..The Burkes also came in 1883. 1900 US census lists Mary as having 10 children, 5 living. I would like to find Mary's maiden name. Am having no luck with deaths certs. or obits from NY. Also, any school records that might be available in Tipp. Terry in Michigan
