I have seen posting for this family name from Paul Tierney, if he is still a member of this list could he please contact me. Hello Paul, I have seen postings for your family in Rootsweb. After 1870 there was a second Tierney family from Ireland in the city of Albany with similar given names. John b about 1845 Ireland, wife Mary b about 1845 Ireland and children Sarah, Jeremiah, Anna, Mary, Cornelius, Elizabeth. I was hoping that in your research you may have accumulated information on this second family. I am trying to connect it to my research through the mother Mary - she would be Mary Young if she is in fact the woman I am looking for. Look forward to hearing from you. Gay Young
