Top of the morning! I am looking for my gg, Mary/May Hannon, born 1879 Tuam, crossed 1897 (either alone or with her sister) to New Jersey, USA, married my grandfather, William H. Johnson 1899, died in 1917. I am looking to see who her parents are. DNA matches seem to connect Owen Hannon & some Ferrells. Any help would be greatly appreciated- there was a lot of Mary Hannon's born in Ireland in 1879.

It does except year of birth is off.....my Mary was born in 1879 according to her immigration papers, and her middle name was Elizabeth- but I will follow up- thanks! I know often people did not know their real birthday and would change their name.
I hired a pro and it turns out you were correct ....sort of. Mary Catherine was the first child of Owen and Ellen Hannon. She died young. The second child, born in 1877 was Mary elizabeth, her namesake. However, I cannot find any record of her birth or baptism. However, via DNA analysis and some digging all signs point to this. Thanks!
Glad you have verification, Suz.
