Searching Gleesons Baggotstown West

A local, Eddie O'Dea (eddieodea@eircom.net) kindly went thru my Great-Aunt's 1925 Diary and analysed the inerrelationships of the many persons mentioned in it, including Gleesons.

I have attached a copy of the Diary, which may be useful. Gleesons are also mentioned on the preiphery of my family Tree at ancestry.com ("Thomas- Fogarty").

Good luck

Martin Thomas

Hi David,
One person I would suggest you contact is Damian Gleeson.
Damian and I share ancestors from the Bruff Knockainey area and he has visited the areas twice that I know of to further his research. He has also written a book about the inter relationship between the Gleeson family and several other Irish families who migrated to Australia in the 1800's. His email address is: DamianJGleeson@gmail.com

I have my family tree in ancestry.co.uk
If you would like an invitation to it you can email me at robbins13@iinet.net.au

Cheers,
Christine Robbins nee O'Brien
descendant of Daniel & Terence O'Brien, Johanna & James Dooley, Ellen Connor, Catherine & Patrick Carroll & Catherine Connors all from around Bruff & Knockainey area born late 1700's & early 1800's
