Mayo Ireland about 1825. He died on March 13,1880. He is buried in St Michaels Cemetery in the Town of Mitchell near Sheboygan, Wisconsin USA. He married Ann Cummins born in Ireland about 1830. She died 4/12, 1909 and is buried next to James. James and Ann had 5 children all born in Wisconsin. One of the children Alice was my great grandmother who married my gr- grandfather Martin Hanahan. I am not sure if My Lavells are related to you or not. They came from the same area. Do you have any Hanahans or Bowens in your family tree. If we can make a connection with our Lavelles I may be able to find more information. We are going to Ireland in September. We were in Ireland a couple of years ago and did a lot of research on the Hanahans which took us to Tourmakeady, Mayo Co. Ireland. This year we will be mainly in the southwest but also in Monahan and Dublin. I can still do a lot of research for Mayo while I'm in Dublin.

Rosemarie, Where did your grandfather live in the USA? My great grandmother was Mary Kearny of Crimlin townland, Turlough Civil Parish in Mayo. When I was young (early 50's), my father used to visit a man named Patrick Kearny in Brooklyn, NY. My father used to refer to him as "Old man Kearny". I wasn't sure how he was related to us. My older cousins were unable to help to explain the connection.

If you know the town, I would recommend starting with the Parish Priest.  I was able to track down a number of my grandmother's (Keaney in County Mayo) living relatives thru the priest.  We are visiting them in July.  -----Original Message----- From: RMcG32@aol.com To: mayo@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, 22 May 2007 7:24 am Subject: [MAYO] Tracing - Kearney Greetings, I am looking for descendents of my grandfather - Patrick Kearney - who migrated to the US in late 1800's - is birth date would have been around 1864 - e plan to visit Mayo this Fall and would appreciate any lead as to possible elatives still in the area. hank you, osemarie ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. :-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~: When is the last time you posted your interests?

Jim, I host the following website as volunteer work. As yet, I haven't added Kilmore Civil Parish but will do on my next update. Since it is a huge civil parish with over 80 townlands (when I add a civil parish, I add a page for each townland), it will take me some time to complete and I won't get to it until I fully update my own website. Check out the site and I'll let the list know when it is completed. http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlmayo/ In the meantime, use google and see what's online for Kilmore. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

I have started transcribing the Kilmore Civil Parish's GV. It is a huge parish with over 40 pages of GV. So far, I have transcribed 10 pages, over 500 names. They are online on the County Mayo section of my website. I also updated the County Mayo surname registries on that section.
