I think my Michael Keegan (my great-grandfather on my dad's side) was probably born in Cloone, Drumharkan Glebe, Leitrim to John Keegan and Mary mahon. If so, he had a sister Rose, brothers: John, Mary, Patrick. I've seen these baptismal records. I'm trying to find what happened to his siblings. There does not seem to be any Keegan's left in Drumharkan Glebe.
Hope someone knows these Keegans. My father has his DNA on 23andme.

I checked the 1901 and 1911 censuses. I found a John Keegan married to a Mary with children Rose Anne, John, Patrick and Alice. Note: Rose Anne and John had the last name of Mitchell. Possibly Mary was married before?
The 1911 census showed John as a widower with Patrick and Alice living with him. The form indicated that he had three children with his wife.
Let me know if you have further questions.
