Greetings

Hi All, My name is Rick Haverty. My Great Grandparents lived at Castle Ellen in Athenry in the late 1800's. Patrick J Haverty and Maraget Josephne Kelly. The Lambert family were the owners and as I understand it help my Great Grandparents with their passage to USA (Waltham, Massacusetts) where the namesake St. Mary's Parish is. My G-G-Grandmother Mary (Henihan) Haverty also travelled with them in 1887. Several of my Greatgrandfaqther's sisters preceded them starting around 1860. A number of familes from Athenry settled in Waltham. I believe the family names of Burke, Kelly, Ruane, Pollock, Lamb, Moran, Gorman,and others may be among them. I have been collecting family history for about 20 years now and paid a visit to Athenry in 2004. I didn't find much in the way of family history there but found a wonderful spot in Ireland.
