I am third cousin to several Coynes who came from Galway according to the 23andMe DNA database. I am not acquainted with any of them. My great-grandfather was Joseph Garrity, born about 1823 in Galway. He along with his sister Annie, born in 1831, emigrated to the states in the mid 1840's. I suspect that Kate Geraghty was their older sister. Joseph's daughter, my great aunt Mary kept all the oral history from Ireland in her head. Before she passed in 1933 she told it to my father and one or two other cousins. Unfortunately they were only kids at the time and it went in one ear and out the other. But the names Norah, Joyce, and Cain managed to survive, though nothing is known. Kyne could be the surname Cain. I wish there was a way to identify my Great-Great-Grandparents. If anyone can share additional insight I would be so grateful. Erick Garrity from Lexington, Kentucky.
My great grandmother Sarah Coyne was the fourth child born to Patrick Coyne and Kate Geraghty. They lived in RosDubh (Rosduff), Rosmuck, Galway Ireland. Sarah's father Patrick Kyne (Coyne) was born about 1819, in Ireland. He died on 18 August 1899, aged about 80, in Turlough, Lettermore, Galway, Ireland.
Sarah's mother Kate Geraghty was born about 1820, in Cornamona, Galway, Ireland. She was recorded in the census in 1901, aged about 81, in Rosmuc, County Gallway. She died after 1901, when older than 81, in Turlough, Galway. Patrick Kyne aged about 29, married Catherine Geraghty, aged about 28, in 1848 in Galway, Ireland.
They had eight children: Mary (#1) Kyne aka Coyne b. after 1848
