Looking for Rooney ancestors. Do not have a town in County Roscommon. His father may have been Owen or William Rooney. Hit a brick wall on this line. It is possible that they were not from County Rocommon. He came to the US in 1848 and settled in Iowa.
County Roscommon, or Ros Comáin in Irish, is located in the western region of Ireland. We are home to the stunning Lough Key Forest Park and statistically, we are known to have the longest life expectancy of any county in Ireland! We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.
