Looking for Conaty
My ancestor Richard Conaty born in County Cavan around 1805. I can't figure out the parish. He was a catholic. He migrated to America around 1826, landed in New York and stayed there for ten years. (Possible indentured servant) He then prchased land in Michigan and raised seven children. He married Rosanna Keen, Kena, or Keena either in Ireland or in New York. Her birth is listed as Ireland as well. I have a death certificate for their son but I cannot make out the mother's maiden name but it looks like Rosanna Keena. I cannot find any records to prove Richard was born in Ireland or where other than US census records. He came over pre-famine. He did not go through Ellis Island. It appears he came with brothers or uncles Thomas Conaty and Bernard Conaty. All born within years of each other. All three conaty men had children named Richard Conaty. Seeing as that is not a typical Irish name or popular should I say it makes me think they are all related. All three are on the same passenger lists so I am sure they are related and came to America together. IF anyone can help with anyway of determining what parish or any records I would appreciate it. I posted a copy of a family tree print out and a copy of the son's death certificate so if anyone can read the last name of Rosanna I would love that.
