It will require a lot of research to determine if you have living relatives in Ireland. Have you taken a general DNA test?

Daniel Horan was baptized May 30 1857 in Listowel parents Daniel Horan and Julia McCrohan  04281/10, Listowel - Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI

See third record for February 1884 marriage between Daniel Horan and Catharine Connor  https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1884/10897/5980306.pdf Both lived in the townland of Ballaghadigue in Listowel civil parish.

See fifth record for April 1884 civil birth record for John Horan  https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/birth_returns/births_1884/02686/1989312.pdf  I did not locate any other records so likely they emigrated in 1884.
