Gig..I had added Jeremiah Toohey and Mary Ryan to my family tree a long time ago with question marks. Something made me think they were related. I just didn't know how and I cant remember where I found them even. Funny coincidence.

Thank you both for your feedback! I did order the book! I'm sure we are all related! My Great grandfather Dennis here in the US settled in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate NY near the Canadian border. He had 5 children and 1 of them had 13 children, and another had 9. There are a huge number of descendants from them here on this side :)

Thanks so much Gig! I have ordered that book.

 I also checked my prior communication with my DNA match and he is from Michael and Honoria Kennedy, then Michael b 1819, then John b 1831, then Bridget b 1881. I have many ancestors from different parts of Ireland and some others even in North Tipp.on my grandmother's side. But this DNA match shares other matches with me (2nd and 3rd cousins) along a clear and distinct family line of Ryan's from Latteragh. He matches my brother and I at 4th cousin level which is a strong match at high confidence level. I was excited to find him!

I was in touch with someone who was documenting all the stones at Glenkeen last year. He stated that he couldn't find these Ryan's there but that he confirmed they were there from a local descendant. He did stumble upon an area where a stone was laying on the ground and was hard to read and he had thought it could be theirs for some reason.

There was an article in the Nenagh Guardian around 1900 when the Ryans were renewing their pub license that stated the Ryan's had held a license there for 4 generations. Another article from the 1860's had a Michael Ryan working in the pub. A fairly common name...but who knows..maybe it was your Michael b 1798!

My great grandfather was Denis Ryan born in Latteragh in 1863. He immigrated to US in 1884. His parents were John Ryan (b 1834) and Johanna Howard. I believe John's father was also named Denis (b 1798). The Ryan nickname was Seanin. I have been DNA connected to a gentleman from Australia who stated his Ryan from Latteragh was also Michael..same timeframe as your Michael. We had speculated that perhaps Michael and Denis were brothers as I believe their plots appear to be side by side in Griffiths Valuation maps. I know there was a family plot at Glenkeen in Borrisoleigh but not sure how far back that started. Denis (b 1798 approx.) was called Dinny Seanin and ran a pub called Halfway House around 1860's. The family in late 1800's ran the Latteragh Post Office and pub was now called Seanin's in 1900's. They lived not far from the Latteragh cross I believe. Same family? I bet it is. Is that book still available?
