Family info request
Mayo
Looking for info on the Lyndon family from MaumTrasna, my grandmother was Nora Lydon, daughter of Peter Lydon and Barbara Joyce. Nora immigrated to USA about 1910.

Looks like there are several Joyce and Lydon families in the 1901 (Maumtrasna) and 1911 (Mauntrasna) census records for Mayo including a family with father Peter Lydon and mother Barbara. Didn't see Nora.

Also saw several articles about a mass murder of Joyces in Mauntrasna in 1882.
Seems like you should have great luck if you connect with parish members.
