I am searching for relations from the area. Michael Feeney migrated to Boston in or around 1850. He landed in Portland, Maine. We have a record of his citizenship.

  • Hi,

     

    Thank you for your message.

     

    Do you have any other information on the family that you can share? 

     

    Do you know the names of Michael's parents, or any siblings that he may have had that remained in Ireland? Perhaps you could check the 1901 and 1911 census records to see if there were any relatives still living in the area at the time. You can do this here: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

     

    It may also be an idea to put your message in a local newspaper/newsletter to increase the chances that someone will see it and make a connection. Some possible places you could do this are:
