Hi Michael,
My ggg-grandmother Ellen Canavan McNulty is buried in the Calvary cem. in Evenston, IL.
She was born in Mayo Abbey, Co. Mayo Ire. She came to America about 1860 with her
children. I still do not have a full list of them. She did have a daughter Delia. I
don't find that name very often. I am in CA right now and most of my records are at
home.
Most of Ellen's family had already come to America, including her widowed mother
Catherine Kirby Canavan. Catherine married Anthony Canavan. Catherine born about 1790. I
have collected as much as I can on this family hoping someone has left enough to trace
back. I did get a little on my McNulty's in the Irish records but nothing on Canavan.
Do you know what church the family went to in Evanston. My Honora McNulty Arnold
(Catherine Canavan's dau) attended St. Michael's (German - Irish) on the north
side of Chicago.
Karen Hartman
