Hello Fellow Looney Researchers, I have seen so many Looney's from the Southern states on this site. Are their any from Minnesota, Illinois, or Iowa. Thomas and Hannah Looeny arrived in the US in 1866 along with their three children, Michael, Daniel and Mary. Stayed in Rantoul, IL long enough to have another child. Thomas worked for the railroad during that time. They then moved to Sherburne County, MN and homesteaded. They had several more children. In the early 1900's Thomas, Hannah, their oldest son -Michael and family moved to State Center in Iowa and ran a hotel. Thomas died in 1910 and the family moved back to Minnesota. Any information would be greatly appreciated, Best Regards, Jacklyn
