Meg Grant Moloney connects with her third cousin in back roads of County Roscommon
Moore (Roscommon)
Meg Grant Moloney met her third cousin Frank Mitchell from Clonfad, Parish of Moore.
She met Ardnaglug residents ( Marie Monaghan, Gerry and Joan Ryan and Mary Dolan Kenny). In the course of conversation, we established that Meg is a fourth cousin of Gerry Ryan. Meg, her husband Tim and her children Siobhan and Catherine got to see the location of ancestral home of Meg's Great Grandmother, Annie T Kelly ( 1870 - 1945) . Annie T Kelly emigrated to Boston around 1890s.Annie ( married to Kelley in Boston) had made a return trip to Ardnaglug.
Additionally, Meg has contact details for family in Ireland who are building a family tree so the research will grow and continue online. Meg used diary notes kept by her cousin Claireanne Kelly ( now in her 90s) who made a trip in July 1982 to Ardnaglug and then located her cousin, Rosaleen McKeown Mitchell, in Clonfad, Moore.
