Ireland / Kain/Kane/Keane from Barna Keeraun Galway
« on: Friday 10 September 10 18:32 BST (UK) »
Thomas Kain was born in December 1876 in Barna, Keeraun, Gallway, Ireland. His parents were William and Sarah Kelly Kain (spelling is from birth certificate for Thomas).
Thomas left Ireland for the USA. His destination was Brookline, Massachusetts where his sister Anne lived. He traveled on the SS Saxonia and arrived in April 1905.
According to the 1901 Irish Census Kain became Kane and then in 1911 it was listed as Keane. When Thomas arrived in the USA he became Kane. Thomas was one of 9 children, 4 that I know of came to the USA 5 remained in Ireland.
I have been trying for 5 years to find any relative in Ireland that can help me with information on the siblings that stayed in Ireland. My goal is to find a Kain/Keane/Kane in the Village of Barna, Galway that can help me to fill in the details.
I also have a mystery to solve. Thomas had a sister named Julia. I have not been able to find any record of her existence in Ireland. I have found the 1901 and 1911 Census that lists the family but no "Julia" So where did Julia come from?
There is so much that I would like to know and I am willing to share all my information on the siblings and their families that came to the USA. Hopefully a realtive from Ireland will respond.
Thank you.
