Hello! 
There was a double marriage between the Jones (Boviel) and the O'Kane families in 1919.  Bernard and Mary Jones were brother and sister as were John and Catherine O'Kane.  My grandparents were Bernard Jones and Catherine nee O'Kane. 
They emigrated to the United States in 1929 and settled in Philadelphia, PA.  They had 6 children, three born in Ireland and three in Philadelphia, PA.  My father, the oldest son, was born in Boviel.  I enjoyed reading these posts and would like to know more about the two families and the area.  To: tma1977 I would imagine we are as close to being related as you can get.
