I might have misunderstood but I wonder if Denise has a tree for Garret Fagan and someone may have a DNA connection - perhaps through Mary Ann Rafferty Svendsen.
It could be the other way round though as there is the story re Mary Ann in the children's home 

The online tree for Garret Fagan shows a baptism 21st January 1867, Castlepollard.

GF’s parents are Bart* and Catherine

I cannot see a birth for Garret which should be in Delvin district - there is a Thomas b 1870 .

Great find. So would you say that the aunt is a nun in the Ursuline Order?

So, who is Denise looking for, I wonder?
