I have been trying to pinpoint the home of my great grandparents for many years now. The two families that came to America and began my tree there were Flynn and Kinnane. The Flynn's are from the Ballylanders area and the oldest known relative was John Flynn who married Elizabeth Meade in 1818 at Kildorerry. Their son Thomas married Johanna Leary in Ballylanders 1858. My Ggrandfather John Flynn was Christened in Ballylanders in 1859. He left for the US in 1882. He married Mary C. Kinnane in 1888 in Fitchburg, MA. The marriage was arranged so, there is no doubt the Flynn's knew these Kinnane's before they all emigrated. Mary Kinnane's family was from the region surrounding Galbally but, for the life of me, I cannot find a homestead for her family. Her father was Thomas Kinnane b: ~1828 and her mother was Nora Hanrahan b: ~1840. The family emigrated to the USA in 1884 and children of Thomas and Nora were Patrick, Annie, Mary, Nora, Bridget and I believe Margaret. My wife and I will be coming back to Ireland this fall and I would love to find someone from the family that can help me put these pieces together.

My time spent in Emly have given me such pleasant memories, and hope to return next year for a visit with my partner, so I may show him what a pretty little place it is.

My husband and I have "come back" to retire In Ireland after my grandmother had to leave 100 years ago. She was born in Emly and with the help I was given I will be able to complete a family tree I have been working on. Thank you EMLY.

My family and I visited Emly in September 2011. My father who is 93 years old, had requested we look for Emly on our trip to Ireland as his Mother's family (Ryan) had emigrated from there in the 19th Century. We took a lot of photos of your pretty town for him. Thank you for the information on the website which has encouraged an interest in our family origins.

Hello,
Emly looks to be such a charming place. I think my great-grandfather came from Emly. He was John Heffernan, and we've always thought he was from Tipperary.
There is a John Heffernan, the son of John Heffernan and Mary Bourke who matches our 1827 birthdate. He was baptized in Emly 16 Nov 1827.
I would welcome any information.
Kindest Regards,
Jim Heffernan

Hello!
I am trying to locate anyone connected to William McEniry and Catherine Donovan McEniry. They emigrated from Emly to Troy NY sometime prior to 1862. I appreciate any help.

Dear Father Rochford,
It has been a few years since I posted on the Emly website. My Uncle Cornelius Morgan Griffin wanted me to let you know that his grandson Daniel is currently studying to become a priest in Rome. I thought you would like to know that a "son" of Emly has decided to serve the Lord. I look forward to the day when I can come to Emly to visit. Take care.
