William Joseph Fay b. 1829, came to US from Loughrea in before 1848 and married Anne Green/Greene also b in Loughrea, in 1848 NYC. He named his first Son William Joseph. Perhaps his own father was William Joseph as well. Looking for Fay/Fahys still in Loughrea to compare GEDmatch info.

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    The baptismal records for Loughrea RC parish start in 1810 and are available on the subscription site Roots Ireland. I located a record in 1825 and 1830 (see below). I searched for Anne Green and I  located an 1820 record in Loughrea  (see below). Since your Anne may have been born in 1820, I also found William Fahy records in 1821 and 1822 where on both records the father was William. See below.

    For your DNA matching purposes, there is a Facebook group  https://www.facebook.com/groups/GalwayMatchmaker/   for all of Galway where you can run the Matchmaker program and get your matches with people in that group. I'm sure some of the people have Loughrea connections.

    Let me know if you have any questions.
