DURKIN, John; IRL>USA; C. 1879 >>Seeking information on the DURKIN, MC DONAGHOUGH & KEANE families. My great grandfather, John DURKIN was born 11 Sept. 1861 in County Sligo and came to the US in 1879. His parents were Edward DURKIN, born in County Mayo, and Mary Anna MC DONAGHOUGH, born in County Sligo. John worked his way west with the railroad to Victor, CO where he married my great grandmother, Mary Ellen KEANE, born 25 March, 1876 in County Galway. She came to the US at age 12 (1888). John and Mary Ellen eventually moved to Madison, WI where they raised 6 children: Harriet, Edward, John, William, Thomas and Agnes. That is all the information I have at the moment. Any help appreciated. >> >>Kathy Thoma >> >> > Kathy Thoma <ktho@wheeling1.nl.edu>
