Hi, Mary Ann,
I'm doing research for a friend whose ancestors were Patrick Walsh (b. ca. 1830) and
Bridget Cannavan/Canavan (b. ca 1832). According to a cousin, who presumably got this info
from the church or cemetery in Perry Co., Indiana, where they settled, they were from the
parish of Killeenadeema in Co. Galway, Ireland. In the immediate area of this family from
1870-1930 and beyond was a James Canavan and his wife, Margaret Walsh (possibly
Patrick's sister), some of whose children went into Crawford and Gibson counties in
Indiana. This James was probably Bridget's brother. I have not been able to determine
with certainty yet, but I'm not done...
Does any of this sound possibly connected to yours in KC?
