Hi Karen,

I'm in Cleveland - my GGG grandfather Michael left Roscrea in 1847 - I've found that the Mooney name is sparce in the area, even pre Famine, which is both good and bad for us. Good - when we find something on the surname in the area percentages would seem to indicate that there is a connection. I'm interested in talking further to see if we can't expand the web a bit and find connections that help us and others out - brothers, sisters, cousins, etc. My Michael (b 4/1825) had 3 sisters, Anne, Mary and Anastatia and his parents I believe were John Mooney and Judith Carroll.  There was some talk in the family tradition that he was from Knock Cross outside of Roscrea. He arrived in NYC 4/1847 and Cleveland 5/1848 where we have been ever since.

Glad to talk whenever.

My name is Dolores Whyte and i am part of the Dunkerrin Reaching Out Team.

i live near Cappakilleen and can confirm that there are Mooney's still farming there.    There are two families, one family still living there and the other family have moved about 2 miles from there.

I hope that this might be of some help to you.  Please contact me again if you would like any further information.

Dolores

Thank you Jack.

Hi Kevin;

I sent you an email. Hopefully we can share info!

Regards,

Karen

Hi Dolores;

Thank you ever so much for the information. So interesting to hear that there are Mooney's still in the area! I would love to be able to contact them somehow. I have a woman doing some research for me on Hugh Mooney, as I live in BC Canada, but she was unable to find any birth or baptism records in the area, not surprisingly really. I just found it too coincidental that a Mooney and Egan were tenants on the same land, and not be part of my ancestry.

I would very much appreciate any more information, and would gladly pay you for your time and effort.

My email is km0331@gmail.com

Thanks again Dolores, and hope to hear from you again!

Regards,

Karen

I have just sent this email to the Reverend of the Moone parish,

I am researching my Mooney Family tree and I am grasping at any straws that I can find. This link came to me by way of the online Irish Heritage Site.

Can you tell me anything about 'Moone' and if you know any information about a Felix Mooney born about 1770  with  3 sons called Daniel b 1806, Peter b1809 and Patrick b1820 - 3 of them had the trade of the black smith. I warn you I was grasping at straws. Any help would be grateful. Thank you.

Hi, I am new to the board and have connections to the Williams and Kyte families.  

I have amassed a big excel spreadsheet with all 19th c Williams mentions on it and find that a Mary Williams married Thomas Mooney, must have been 1860s or 70s.  I have these children (below).

They may be useful if you are following naming patterns down through the families  who stayed behind.  

Mooney Ellen born 28/2/1868

Mooney Susan born 22/11/1870

Mooney Fredk born 7/3/1872

Mooney Albert born 9/2/1874

A John Williams married an Eliza and had a Susan about 1832 so this may have a link to the Susan in the Mooney family above. Mary Williams Mooney may be related to Frederick/h Williams who married a Coghlan and they also had a Susan about this time also 1869. (Just realised they have a Frederick as well. ) 

Something to think about. Happy hunting.
