I'm specifically looking for the following family, but any Dunnes in Mountrath will do - I'm sure there will be aunts, uncles and the like: Patrick Dunne married Mary Flanagan (Flanigan) about 1861. They had 6 children: Catherine Dunne (b-Sep 20, 1865), Finton Dunne (b-Feb 11, 1868), Anne Dunne (b-Oct 9, 1871), Elizabeth (no birth date yet), John Dunne (no birth date yet but became a priest and lived to be 105), and Marie Dunne (no birth date yet). The family is Catholic. I believe the parents Patrick and Mary, as well as Finton and John remained in Ireland. Marie moved to London and married a Ronan. Catherine, Anne and Elizabeth came to the U.S. about 1889. Any information will be so very appreciated. Tricia
