Comment by Sally Jeffryes on April 6, 2014 at 9:32am: Thank you Pamela Drake. I already have, just waiting for her to reply back. I have been researching this line for many years and finally was given some old letters with very small hints in them. I followed them and discovered more than anyone has here-to-for known for at least 2 generations. Thank you for providing a place for me to connect and find family.

Comment by Pamela Ann Drake on April 6, 2014 at 1:30am: My 2xgreat-grandparents,Thomas Byrne & Mary McAndrew were both born in Ireland. They were married in Washington,Daviess Co.IN. 28 June 1839. Thomas Byrne might have been from Cork,County Sligo,Ireland & Mary McAndrew might have been from County Mayo,Ireland.I think her parents were: John McAndrew & Bridget Saunders. I don't have a clue who Thomas Byrnes parents were. I understand the original name was O'Byrne. Thanks!

Comment by Pamela Ann Drake on April 6, 2014 at 1:20am: Thanks Sally for writing & connecting with Catherine! Great news!

Comment by Sally Jeffryes on April 5, 2014 at 6:09pm: Sarah J Byrne is from a family of at least 10 children, 7 were alive in 1911, when their father Thomas Byrne was on the Ireland census at age 79. I believe he died shortly thereafter. 4 of his children immigrated to the US, Stephen, Sarah, Anne and James.They were not from County Cork, and I think that may have been a stumbling block for you. They were from Newtownbarry, Ferns, Wexford, Ireland.

Comment by Sally Jeffryes on April 5, 2014 at 6:01pm: Catherine Murphy Gingras we share Ireland ancestry. Sarah J Byrne and Anne Byrne of Wexford Irealnd.

My name is Lorraine and my grandmother , Mary Byrne, was from Wicklow, Ireland. My grandfather , Robert Joseph Lennon was also from Baltinglass, Wicklow, Ireland. He was born in 1880 and I just found out recently he was a twin ! I have been researching so many genealogy site and found some new facts aboutmy family history. I even found Byrne relatives through a site called I reland Calls. I am now friends with them on Facebook. Its nice to meet some other Byrne's here. Maybe some of us are related. I look forward to talking with all of you. I will check back soon : )
