Hi, My grandfather is James Rooney. My great grandfather is Patrick Rooney and my great grandmother is Mary Ann Ganly. James came to New York and lived there for the rest of his life. He had 4 children. The first, a son (Patrick), died at 3 months of age. The second child, my mother, was Catherine Rooney. James and his wife had two other daughters, Ann and Patricia, my aunts. James had twelve grandchildren, my first cousins. We were all very close growing up. I am just beginning to explore my family history and would love to connect with anyone who is part of my family or who has information about it.
