Patrick Sweeney and Margaret (Kenion) Keenan

Hi

Have you tried checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp

or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64) http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

or the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) https://familysearch.org/ for Patrick and his relatives?

Do you know much about his emigration? Dates- reasons he left, travel companions, port of arrival etc? Often more information was given at the point of arrival than departure - this may be another good place to look for clues - if you haven't already?

 Failte Romhat has lots of other useful links you could try looking at ). www.failteromhat.com

Remember to post as much information as you can regarding the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.

Please make sure you link anyone else in your family who is interested in their Irish heritage to our site - and indeed anyone else you know of Irish heritage.

Kind regards,
