Welcome to RootChat rafferty51.

It's important you don't name people still living on RootsChat, so if you have you should modify your post.

If you could give us an idea of dates it would help a lot.
Katherine for example, have you any idea when she would have been born?

[rafferty51]

she was born around 1905 i think as my grand father was born in 1915

[rafferty51]

sorry about giving any ones name as only one is alive the rest have pasted as far as i know only the son simon is alive

she was born around 1905 i think as my grand father was born in 1915

If she is your grandfather's mother she has to be older than that.
There are a few Katherine Quilligan's born in both Cork and Rathkeale, what was her married name?

[rafferty51]

i really dont know the year she was in her teens when her sister brought her to the usa then she married my great grandfather not long after

[rafferty51]
