Mayo / Mackey (Mckey) Crossmolina Church Records
« on: Thursday 31 August 17 04:47 BST (UK) »
Hello Diski,
I am seeking Crossmolina records regarding Thomas Mackey. He is the patriarch of the McKey clan who emigrated to Wisconsin and Chicago, USA in the 1840's.
Thomas did not emigrate though all his offspring had gone overseas. Thomas' wife Maria Forrester left for the US with their last remaining minor child after Thomas' death to join her children in the US.
Thomas Mackey is buried in Crossmolina. Any records you may have regarding Thomas MacKey and Maria Forrester Mackey in Crossmolina is much appticiated.
One unanswered question is why the entire family altered the name to Mckey in the US, including the matriarch Maria! https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=57023285
Cheers, BK Marshall
