Hi - My husband and I are going to Ireland for the first time and I would love to visit where my grandmother grew up until she was 16 yrs when she took the boat with two of her sisters to the US. I still have her trunk which she came with from Ireland in my family room. Her other sister, Rose Trainor (Traynor) and her 3-4 brothers - John, Christopher who I know of stayed in Ireland. I have met Rose when she came to the states to visit her sister Alice from NJ. Rose must have passed away at least 27 years ago but I know her brothers must have family still over there. The last address I had for Rose was Kielmore Dungannon, Co Tyrone, Ireland. I know Rose had a pub and lived next door in the attached building and a grocery store. My aunt (one of Alice's daughters) said there was a photo of a brick building with the pub on one side and the house attached. I don't know why I have the address: 86 Armagh Rd. Dungannon. My grandmother, Alice, was born 1900. I remember her talking about an explosion at the pub but I don't know details.
When I read a Post by Clannessie and gosteim1 regarding the Trainor family, I got so excited because it sounded like my family. I remember my grandmother calling her brother Christopher - Christy!
If anyone knows the area maybe you can help me out. We are going to be in Dublin for two days, so on July 1st my husband and I would like to travel (by rented car or bus?) to visit my roots and possibly look up some relatives from the Trainor family.
Hope to hear from someone who can lead us in the right direction. Thanks. New Jersey (we are leaving the 29th of June)
