Hi Fellow Sweeney's, Does anyone out there in SweeneyLand know anything about RC Bishop John Sweeney? I do know that he was born in 1821 in the town of Clones in County Monaghan on the border of Ulster. His family immigrated to Canada 5 years after he was born. I do not know his parents names, however I do know they were relatives and I am trying to make the connection. He was a priest at St. Michael's on the Miramichi for a number of years and then sent to the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Saint John.He used to make treks to Johnville,NB. and was responsible for a church being erected there. The community of Johnville is named after him. He then became the first Roman Catholic Bishop of Saint John on April 15/1860. I would like to know who his parents were and if there were any siblings..and if so, what happened to them. I would appreciate any information on this family as it seems that it is a very important link in the chain of my ancestors. Thank You in Advance. Dorothy
