Hello, My name is Susan Healy and I am researching my family history. My Great Great Grandfather wes Jeremiah Healy and I believe he was born in November 1826 in Glencreagh Townland Bantry. He married Johanna McCarthy . They had several children all baptised at St Finbars church in Bantry. Their oldest son, Dennis J Healy was my Great Grandfather borm in March 1860. Jeremiah and Johanna both immigrated to the United States in 1888 Rutland Vermont USA

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
www.irishgenealogy.ie is a free Irish government site which has church records for the Diocese of Cork and Ross which includes Bantry. I located an 1828 baptismal record for Jerh Healy in Bantry. Not sure if this is the correct record.

Dear Susan
I also am related to Jeremiah Healy. I sent of my mother’s DNA and it says that she is related to the Healy’s very closely. As she doesn’t know her father I assume he was a Healy and I know the Healy’s lived in Gurranabraher at the time of my mother’s conception in 1953. I believe her father lived in St Anthony’s Rd during that period and was a widow left with many children. If you would know anything about a relative of yours that this may sound like I would really appreciate any information you could give. Many thanks.
