Message Board Post:
Hello Joan and Sandra -
I am also descended from Mary Clooney, through Charles Leinen, who was my mother's grandfather. My mother (Donna Strachan Quilter) did a lot of genealogical research over the years, but passed away a few years ago. Unfortunately for my sister and I, much of her documentation is locked away on a Mac that we can't seem to unlock. She went to Ireland in 2001, and actually stayed with what she referred to as our 'Clooney cousins' - she was in Ireland on a genealogical tour when the 9/11 attacks occurred, and couldn't get home on schedule, so I believe they actually put her up at their house! I cannot find them now, but would love to thank them and meet them in person. I came out here hoping... hoping somehow to find them. Its exciting simply to find this thread! I have already learned much from your previous posts. Thank you! My mother also insisted that the Irish Clooneys told her we are related (somehow) to George and Rosemary Clooney, but not sure where the connectio!
n is... I have not yet found it. It must be in Ireland. Thank you!
