I recently discovered that my great grandmother, Mary E. McSweeney (1845-1922), was from "Londonderry." (It was written so on my grandmother's death certificate.) Mary married John Hanlon who was born in New York, NY, in 1862. I don't know if they married in Ireland or in the USA. She lived in Boston, MA until being widowed and then moved to Stafford Springs, CT where she married my great grandfather, Michael Shea, who was originally from Gleninchaquin, County Kerry.
I am looking for any information on my great grandmother!
Also, I will be visiting Ireland in May with two of my cousins. We will be in Dublin, County Cork, County Kerry, and Galway. When in Kerry, we plan to spend a day on our own exploring the area where my great grandfather came from, Gleninchaquin, Tuosist Parish. Any advice or suggestions for us would be greatly appreciated.
