Keenan, Bundoran, Co. Donegal and New York
« on: Saturday 24 September 22 12:45 BST (UK) »
I am looking for relatives of Thomas Keenan born Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal in 1884. They moved to Bundoran and he emigrated to New York in 1907. Married Nora Dyer from Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon in 1912. They had 6 children. John born 1914, Catherine born 1916, Thomas born 1919, James born 1923, Joseph born 1926 and Frank born 1930. They lived at 64 West, 98th Street, New York. Thomas died 18 October 1949.

There is an ancestry tree, (if it isn't yours) have you viewed that ?

Hello Sandra,
Many thanks for such a rapid reply. I very much appreciate that.
Both Catherine & Joseph are two of the family.
Thank you for the obituary and I'll follow up with the names in it & the undertaker may well have records of the family, though its nearly 20 years ago.
Would you have a link to the Ancestry location for that family tree you found please?
That's a really rapid response you gave me !!
Kind regards
Michael Traynor
