Looking for family info on Rooney family

[Lafalot]

My wife's last name is Rooney. I have done extensive research on her dad's family, and we know that his grandfather, Owen Rooney, was from Dundalk. He emigrated to Philadelphia, US, in 1911. We are actually coming to visit Dundalk on a trip in June. and were wondering if there are distant relatives there, and if anyone has any further info about the Rooney family. I would appreciate any info any of you may have about this.

Welcome to RootsChat 

Can you attach a record of the 1911 census if Owen was still still there before he immigrated to the USA?

Thanks

I know you are hoping to find relations alive today but we can't look for living people on RootsChat the best we can do if possible is find who Owen's brothers and sisters married.
Do you know if he travelled alone to the U.S. or any of his siblings went with him.

Charles died 1912, so no descendants from him.

Mother Bridget died 1927

Informant was her niece, could that mean that James and Bridget had left the country, they are not at home in 1911
