I guess there is no way of knowing if these folks were somehow related wat back in
Ireland.
Our John Callaghan was in Charleville co. Cork, Ireland.
I do not have info on his family. Parents & siblings.
Married Julia Collins. Date unknown.(Early 1860's)
First male child was John. So perhaps the grandfather was also John.
Had several children between 1864/1879.
Some Children were: Hanora(Norah), Mary, John. Anne, Denis.
Denis the youngest born 02July 1879 Charleville.
Do not know when John & Julia died. Sometime after 1879.
Denis came to US, New York City 1906.
Note for some reason his name Denis is spelled with one N.
Denis married had a daughter Helene & son John. Died abt 1955.
Thanks,
Barbara
