Greaney Family of Ballintleva, Ardrumkilla, County Galway
My great grandmother, Mary Greaney, was born about 1863 to Michael Greaney and Bridget/"Biddy" Craven/Creaven. She immigrated to Amesbury, MA in the 1880's but we believe that a brother, Michael Greaney, remained in Ireland, married Bridget Chrisham and had 5 children. Michael Greaney, my 2nd great grandfather, was a son of Patrick Greaney (the poet of Ballintleva) and Margaret Monahan. So Michael Greaney was a brother to Mary Ann Greaney who married Malachy Craven and to Margaret Greaney who married Thomas Reaney. I am seeking to connect with any cousins (likely 4th or 5th to me) from the Greaney's. I have also posted in the Meet and Greet section. Thank you!
