  • My maiden name is Keane, my father was born in Tulla in 1918, his mother was born in Kilmore and her maiden name was McNamara.  One of my fathers brothers married a Bridget O'Dea from Kerry.  In the early 60's my father emigrated to Australia but decided not to stay so travelled around for a couple of years calling in at Randwick to visit relatives!   I have assumed that he visited someone from his mothers family as I traced one of her brothers there but now wonder if there may have been someone from my Keane line there as well.

  • Hi I am still confused as to whom my father Michael Keane may have visited in the early 60's when he emigrated to Australia.  He decided not to settle and returned 2 years later.  I still have a map of Randwick that he gave me.   I know one of his uncles emigrated there but he was from the McNamara line and I recently met up with a descendant of his when he came to London.
