Hi, Joyce,
I am a cousin on your Murphy - Cooney side, and have assembled extensive information on all the descendants of Patrick Murphy and Margaret Murphy of Michigan City Indiana, which I would love to share with you. Also, I have visited Meelick and can tell you exactly where the house is where Margaret and her Cooney siblings grew up before emigrating to America in 1847. I also have a few questions about the Kentucky branch of the family that maybe you can answer. Please contact me.
Jim Cooney
