Photo is his only son, Daniel Aloysius Lahey, my great grandfather and said to bear a strong resemblance to Michael  

Records have Michael entering America around 1850  

Civil War records show that he was from Tipperary.  My DNA shows my Irish roots to be centered in Connacht, North Connacht and North Mayo 34% Scotland and Northern England equal parts at 33% each... He and his wife, Mary Connolly (some records show Connelly) our my official brick wall. 

Possible connections with Ryan’s.

Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated!

    <p>The theme was always the same: the pestilential climate of the island, the reduction of poor emigrants to slaves, the severity and cruelty of the planters (and planter-dominated Assembly clinging to every vestige of oppression) and, of course, the absence of priests and chapels.</p>
