Hello,
I was doing some additional geanealogy research and I came across this website on the Costello Family.
My Great-Grandmother is Bridget " Delia " Costello from Fohenagh/Caltra/Galway area. We believe she was born on May 24, 1876 or possibly 1877?
She was raised on a farm in Ireland. She had a job lined up as a servant in New Jersey and she married a John Aloysius Mahon - Great Grandfather.
She immigrated to the USA from Ireland April 4, 1896 with a friend named Regan on a ship called "Lucania" which departed from the Port of Queenstown - now called Cobh.
John Aloysius Mahon was born in the USA but his parents: Michael Aloysius Mahon and Ann Connolly-Mahon were from Ireland - not exactly sure which area. I was hoping to find additional information on them as well.
Michael Aloysius Mahon - born 1842 Ireland and became a citizen Sept 28, 1876
Ann Connolly-Mahon - was born in 1847. Died in New Jersey, USA Dec 5, 1890. Could possibly be spelled Connelly?
Possible brothers of Michael: Laurence Mahon, born in 1842 in Ireland, died May 26, 1899, wife's name was Ann also, she died Dec 7, 1900.
POssible siblings of Ann Connolly ( Mahon ) - Luke, Mary, Patrick
From my research I believe her siblings were: Michael, Mary, Ned
- possible sibling Michael Costello born Aug 25, 1867
- possible sibling Ned Costello or Edward- born Jan 8, 1871. Baptism 528 Clonbrock, Galway.
- possibly Mary Costello - Birth Dec 12, 1872 Clonbrock
Parents were: - James Costello and Margaret Kelly-Costello.
** The information may or may not be correct but I thought I would post this just in case you might have any more information.
Thanks

Hi Mr. Mahon,
Here are links to Mahon's in Athenry as you are looking for Mahon's in this parish of Athenry.
1. 1901 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_year=19…
2. 1911 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_year=19…
These are the only Mahon's in the Athenry during this era.
Kind Regards,

Hi Scott
I am researching a number of our family tress & my brother has talked about a Bridget Costello - being his great grandmother. I know that he has found someone on the internet that he has been talking to about it.
We live in Auckland New Zealand. I will try to get more info and see if we are part of the same family tree.
Can I contact you through this page or should I email you?
Cheers
