Did Michael move from Keelogues to Aughamore, Glenade?

[TonyMcGartland]

Heywood, yes Michaels was Keeloges

Why do you think there is also the Aghamore connection? Could that be a different Michael?

This is crucial. The Curneens of Aghamore and Keeloges are all buried within the same grave surround - there must be a connection.

They probably are...with them still well tended there are probably descendants around keeping the graves etc.

Yes, there are and I have spoken to them but none of them know the connection

Have you checked to see who owned the townlands in 1700's to see if any leases were registered to them?

Yes, I have just checked.
There is a Michael Curneen in each of the town lands that I am aware of Keeloges, Carrownoona and Aughamore. I presume this means three different Michael Curneens?

They are all on Familysearch.. there is a link to them in Ireland Resources.

Wills, Deeds. Land Owners by County, Townland Index..etc There should be one.   Land Owners Leitrim. Maybe 1740 to 1799 etc etc  Also Townlands Leitrim or Leitrim/Sligo

The answer is no, Michael emigrated to California where he lived, married and had five children. I found him. I also have contacted several people who have family trees on Ancestry!

Thanks to all who helped in my search. I found the answer in an Irish Newspaper Archive from 1956. His daughter visited Ireland and this was reported in the local press.

Since I started searching I have felt that I have always been guided by 'someone', this is another example.

Thanks all.
