My records show that Catherine Cronin (born about 1837) came to America in 1856 with a relative. She spent time somewhere in the eastern part of the U.S. and then moved west to the state of Wisconsin where she married Thomas Carroll from Co Limerick in 1862.
With the help of Ireland Reaching Out reserchers I have found a possible connection to Dromtarriff. It may be that Dan Cronin and Ellen Sheehan were Catherine's parents. It may also be that she had a sister or cousin named Hanora.
I'm hoping to get closer to finding my Irish relatives! Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Patty

I beliieve that your Catherine Cronin's father, Daniel, was the brother of my great-great-grandfather, John Cronin. In any case, your Catherine had at least four siblings, and I've created a family tree on the FamilySearch database which shows Catherine, her parents and siblings (among other relatives), with references to the various parish records which I found for them. The database is maintained by the LDS church, but is free for all to use. The url for it is https://familysearch.org, and if you put in Catherine's ID number there, which is MZ3C-4BH , you can view all of the family records.
