I am trying to trace Father Burkes family , I have been told that his family came from Portumna and another said he came from near Loughrea. I would appreciate any information on his family line.
Portumna County Galway
Nevin,
For clarification is this who you are referring to?
Monsignor Thomas Burke (unknown-1884) - Find a Grave Memorial
