Parish registers LENAHAN
« on: Tuesday 29 June 21 17:17 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for the birth place of a man called Daniel Lenahan b~1850.  His parents names are listed on his death certificate in 1911 as Daniel Lenahan and Mary Delany.  He traveled to the USA ~1865 and settled in Jersey City NJ.  I have used Ancestry, RootsIreland, IrishGeneology, etc to search for him and his parents.  I can't find any marriage certificate for the parents or a an obvious matching birth certificate for him.  I can't find his passage to the USA in 1865.  He starts showing up in USA census data in late 1800s.

I have taken Ancestry DNA test along with my uncle and sister.  We have about 30 DNA matches containing the surname “Lenahan” (or similar, in fact, many different spellings!) in their family trees with birth places in Ireland.  The results are clustered in four counties, Cork, Claire, Limerick, and Kerry.

I'd love to find a grave stone or marriage declaration for Daniel and Mary.  Or a birth certificate for Daniel b~1850.

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
