Hi! My grandfather, John J. O'leary and his brother, Jim Leary came from Kilgarvan to Chicago, Illinois. USA They grew up on a dairy farm. They were a group of 10 siblings. There was a sister Birdie and their mother's name was Polly. Does anybody know of this family? Jim Leary, nephew of my grandfather, and son of Jim Leary, went to visit years ago. I am very interested because my DNA with Ancestry.Com shows a lot cousins that are looking for their relatives. Would like to know of anyone in the states, especially the Chicago area. There was a posting of the O'Leary farm sold. I wonder if this was the old family farm. Please get in touch. Thanks so much!

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Can you provide more details? Do you know the parents names? When were Jim and John born?
I looked at the 1911 census for the general Kilgarvan area. I found one record which may be a possibility.
