It's been a long time since I've had mail from this list also. I'm looking for Miles/Myles Sweeney from somewhere in Ireland, who came through Pennsylvania met a woman in WIS by the name of ELLEN EGAN married about 1864 had THOMAS in 1866 in MICH. The next 4 children were also born in MICH. They were WILLIAM 1870, MARY ANN (MOLLY) 1872, HONORA (NORA) 1875, ISABELLA (ELLA) 1878. Then they moved to Holt county, NEB where my gf JOHN MILES was born in 1879. MILES had gone to SD to work in the mines & was killed because he never knew his last son. His widow moved the family back to the UP of MICH. If any of this sounds like a connection to you, please email. I appreciate any leads offered.
