These are my maternal Grandparents:

Robert Walsh Cahill Born 9/5/1886, Mother Mary Walsh Cahill, Father James Cahill (Palantine)

Johana McCarthy Cahill Born 4/5/1990, Mother Mary OMeara McCarthy, Father John McCarthy (?Brohanna)

I visited Ireland in about 1977 and met my mother's cousin Jim Cahill, his wife and several of his children (Oigne, Helen and maybe Mary) in a 2 room thatched roof cabin that I believe my grandfather lived in before emigrating to the US.

I met his sister, Mary Cahill Baggot and her husband Chris at their farm. 

We met some of my grandmother's family too but I don't remember names except for Sister Agnes who was a nun/midwife who delivered babies in Kenya I believe and visited us in the US. She went to a Chicago Cubs baseball game with us.

Looking to find and hopefully meet some of my relatives in September!

Thank you very much,

  • Perhaps email  tomoconnell747@gmail.com at St. Brigid's Church in Pallasgreen.  Maybe the names will be familiar to him. Good luck.
