Hello KING cousins, Carol and Lou have given their appoval for us to list a web site for all of you who have KING family members who came from Ireland. While you're posting to the regular KING list, why not include your Irish history. Some of us have banded together that are searching KING families specifically from Ireland. There are so many, many KING families, that we're trying to narrow the focus a bit. Thanks. Also........if you'd like to join the Irish KING family list, send a "subscribe" message to irish-kings@makelist.com My own KINGs came from the areas of Clifden, Rahoon and Omey Island County Galway, Ireland. They emigrated to St. Louis in 1846. John KING left his two boys to be cared for by his family and went off to America after wife, Elizabeth O'TOOLE died from the blight. I believe his father's name was Edward, son of Bartholomew. Many, many KINGs came from that area. Perhaps you'd like to share your information with both lists. Let's hear from you.
