My great-great grand parents James McCallion and Anne (Nancy) Barr, McCallion from Gortnamona, Three Trees, Quigley's Point, Co. Donegal had six children:
1. Catherine bapt. 10 Feb 1861
2. James bapt. 1 March 1863
3. Michael bapt. 4 March 1866 (my great grand father) married Ellen Bradley (born; 11 Dec 1864) of Three Trees.
4. Sarah bapt. 3 October 1869 single, died; 30 August 1952
5. Denis bapt. 9 February 1873
6. Thomas bapt. 2 May 1875
In the 1901 Censes for Three Trees, Muff, Co. Donegal it states that;
Anne McCallion (60) is head of house, widowed and a seamstress.
Sarah McCallion (20?) daughter, single and a seamstress.
Patrick McCallion 9 grandson, scholar.
Catherine McCallion 7, grand daughter, scholar.
On the 1911 Censes for Three Trees, Muff, Co. Donegal it states that;
Anne McCallion (77) Head of household, widowed and a seamstress.
Sarah McCallion (40)? daughter, single, and a seamstress.
Anne McCallion 12 grand daughter, scholar.
I have no information on Catherine, James, Denis or Thomas or any of the grandchildren that are named above. 
Anyone out there connected!!

Hi
My ggrandparents were Denis McCallion and Mary Ruddy on Meedenmore, Three Trees, Muff which is next to Gortnamona and I think he may have been a brother of James but I have no proof of that,Can you help?.
I think I may also have a picture of Nancy Barr which I can post to your e.mail address if you like.

Hello Mary,
Thank you for responding to my posting. I'm afraid you maybe mixing me up with someone looking for Hirl. This is my first post for McCallion.
But thanks all the same.

Hi Mary
I think your message was ment for me. Thank you for your reply but as you say I have this information. With regard to the Hirls I am trying to find who Mary McCallion (nee Ruddy) was related to in Glentogher and I believe she had at least 1 brother living there at this time and he was married to a Rose Ann Hirl (various spellings) but that is another search which is running along side what I am trying to find at the moment.
But once again thank you for your reply
Patrick Ruddy

Dear Mary,
I am the great-grand-son of Denis McCallion baptized 9 Feb 1873. Denis married Margaret (Maggie) Doherty and they immigrated to Boston, MA in the early 1900's. Mary Doherty was born in 1875 in three trees. In order to secure better employment in Boston they changed their family name to Campbell. My grandmother, Loretta, was their daughter. Denis and Maggie had 5 children; John, Annie, Lorrie, Jimmy and Loretta. I never met Denis, he died 1925, he was 52 years old. Maggie lived until 1962 and died at the age of 88 years old.
On Saturday, 25 April, I am taking my Mom (Denis & Mary McCallion's grand-daughter) to Ireland for the first time. We are planning to visit Three Trees mid-week.
Regards,
Dennis Reilly
Nashua, NH, USA

Hello Dennis and welcome to Rootschat.
Looks like we have the same family connection with Denis McCallion from Gortnamona, Three Trees. His brother Michael, is my great-grand father.
Are you aware of any other members of his family heading Stateside?
The homestead is still standing but has not been occupied since 1950's. I would love to meet up and show you around if you wish and exchange family information.
Regards,
DoireM

Mary,
My plan is to be in Three Trees on Thursday, April 30th. It would be wonderful if I could see where it all began for us. Is there an address of the original homestead? Are there any local McCallions left in the area? I will ask my mother if she knew of any of her grandfathers brothers or sisters. I was named after Denis McCallion. Do you know anything about his wife Margret Doherty? She was born in 1875 and was the only girl in her family. I do have some memory of her. She died when I was 7 years old.
Warmest Regards Cousin,
Dennis

Hello Cousin Dennis,
Thank you for your prompt reply. Thursday 30th April would work for me. The homestead is not in the hands of McCallion anymore ... which is a pity. I am the only one interested in the genealogy. In that part of Donegal they use the townland as an address, so Gortnamona, Three Trees is the address. I am sorry I don't know your great grand mother's family ... Doherty is the most commonest surname in Donegal. The only McCallion's left are of my great grand father Michael's offspring and they live in the Parish, they would be your mother's second cousins. I am going to surprise you now and tell you I have a photograph of your great grand father Denis and my great grandfather Michael taken at "Beckford's Photo Studio" 43 Winter Street, Boston, unfortunately I do not have a year. I also have a photograph of their mother Annie (Nancy) Barr McCallion.
Best wishes,
Marie (DoireM)

Dear Marie,
This is amazing! We have visited Ireland 5 or 6 times in the past. Unfortunately, we never made it as north as Donegal. This time we thought it would be a good idea to bring my Mom along and visit the north. Well, the thought that we may meet a living relative is beyond my wildest dreams. It would be a honor to meet you on the 30th. We will be driving up from Donegal Town. It will be my wife Patricia, our 10 year old son Liam, my Mom and myself. By the way, I mentioned that I was named after my great-garndfather. However, I forgot to mention that my middle name is Michael after your great-grandfather. I believe my grandmother and great-grandmother had a big hand in my name selection. It would be wonderful if there was a way I could get copies of those photos.
Marie, how, when, where should we meet you? My US mobile phone works in Ireland and I could forward you that number. If you feel comfortable providing me with your phone number, I could call you on the way to Three Trees. I'll leave that up to you. What is your family name?
Very much looking forward to meeting you and walking in the path of our ancestors together.
God Bless,
Dennis Michael Reilly
