Hi
"Research shows that my orphaned grandfather's father most likely came from Mountmellick, County Laois. Parish of Rosenallis."
What was the name of your grandfather's father?
Kind regards

Mary
My orphaned grandfather was likely Daniel Maher son of Timothy Maher & Mary Gorman.
They arrived in the USA about 1846. Would like to have information on Timothy's parents as well as Mary's
parents and as far back as I can find.
Thank You
Tom
