The parish is very old for that area (only St. Andrew's Cathedral parish is older in Grand Rapids diocese) and seems to have very good records. Daniel Cary Sullivan grew up in London and came to USA in 1870s. His mother was a McCarthy but both those names are very, very common in Bantry. My Morrissey / Morasy / Morrisy ancestors came from Bunclody (Newtownbarry) County Wexford, Ireland. There are many other Bunclody descendants in Parnell area (DOYLES, etc.) but not clear on any connection. I have entered much info from the "1844-1994" book in my Family Tree software. Contact me directly if you wish: Gemorrc@yahoo.com and I will try to provide more information. Thanks, Gerard Morrisey Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
