Hi Thomas,
Wow, well it certainly seems that we are related since my mother, Brigid Reynolds Carolan, was first cousins with Father David "Sandy" McGoey. We always knew him as Father Sandy. Actually, we used to call him "Uncle Father Sandy" as he seemed old enough to be our uncle. We have pictures of him back at my father's house. Everyone loved him. I remember him vividly even though I was only 4 or 5 when I first met him and then about 11 the second time. He did come to visit us a few times when we lived on Long Island, NY. He would stay over for a day or two on his way to visit Ireland. He used to say he'd put us in his suitcase and take him back to Ireland with him. I could tell you fun stories but will hold off.
I had the Killoe book as well and gave it to a relative but don't know where it is now. I have read the book cover to cover. Believe it or not, the author of the book is a priest on my father's side, Owen Devaney. I've made contact with the Devaney's on FB. Are you on FB? It would help in terms of exchanging an e-mail as I don't think you can do it here. I've tried it before and my e-mail address was deleted.
If you are on FB, you can find me listed as "Kathleen Carolan Watanabe."
Sincerely,
Kathy
