This was forwarded to me from a lady who saw it on Tipperary-L listserver. My great grandfather, his wife and their children emigrated from Bournea Parish, near Roscrea, Co. Tipperary in early 1861. Old letters mention a sister Margaret and a brother Jeremiah who had emigrated earlier. John lived in Clinton County, Ohio in the late 1860s. Tom Fitzsimmons.
