My great grand father was Thomas John McNamara. His Mother was Anastasia Cullinan and his father was John McNamara. I am looking to find decendents of Thomas McNamara, if possible still in Ireland, not to mention where the family was buried. I would like to come to Ireland one day and retrace the steps of the family and if I am so lucky, maybe meet a long lost relative!!

There is an Anastasia McNamara age 82 living with her daughter Anastasia Connell's family in the 1901 census in Broadford, Kilseily, Clare. Would her age fit?

Hi Thomas, my great grandfather was born November 1869. He lived in the Moanmore Upper area with his father John, who was a farmer. John´s father´s name was Patrick. I do not have any information on John´s mother or his siblings. Below is the family members (siblings) from my great grandfather Thomas. He immigrated to the US via Boston in 1877.

Mary-1864
Michael-1866
Margaret-1868
Thomas-1869
Catherine-1871
Patrick-1873
Bridget - 1877
child unknown-1879
As for Anastasia, I know only that her father´s name was Martin and that they lived in Moanmore Lower. I have an idea that she had a brother named Charles, but I have not yet had this confirmed. I wrote a Charles Cullinan about a month ago, who I thought might be a decendent from Anastasia´s side. I have unfortunately gotten no word back yet :/ I am not sure how excited people would be if I just started calling them randomly.
Do you have a link for this phone book?
