Hi! My ancestors are Peter Sweeney, born May 1817 in Bellakip, wife Sarah (Sally) McGuire born 1815 in Aughaval. They were pioneers in Dubuque County, Iowa, USA. Immigrated about 1850. Happy to exchange information.
Hi
Just wondered if you are familiar with this "Kilgeever" Database. You might find some Connections there.

A friend of mine from "Mayo Genealogy Group" is doing a course on Genealogy in Lousiburgh this week and next. If you are on facebook, you could join our group and see if someone may have some connections for you.

Hi there,
The link for the Kilgeever database does not work.
Does anyone have an up to date link please?
I think it's possible that i'm related to Peter Sweeney. I am trying to establish if he's the brother of my 3 x great grandfather Patrick Sweeney born County Mayo 1818.
Thanks in advance,
Vicky
Peter Sweeney and Sara McGuire were my GG grandparents.
Will also share information. Thanks for the links, checking them out!
