Hi My grandparents emigrated in 1877 to New Zealand with three of their children, one dying during the sea journey.They, according to my parents marriage certificate originated from a small village named Galmoy, which is in the vicinity of Johnstown (Ireland). Oral history says they travelled through USA but this has never been verified. We are not aware of any siblings in the my great grandparents family and again oral history says there was a brother Edward (Edmond) who settled in Nashville. One of my aunts was said to have been born there.My grandfather James O'Neill married a Mary Tyne in Tipperary,in 1870 and sailed on the sailing ship "Renfrewshire" from Plymouth.The ship"s manifest shows their names spelt Neal, though this was never used in Nz where they were known as O'Neill. My father was born in NZ. I hol;d recordes of the NZ Descendants. Regards Garry O'Neill
