Regarding the Mahers residing in Rathmacan... is there a method for contacting them? Postal addresses or email would be very handy.

Kilkenny / Maher Ancestors from Rathmacan
« on: Thursday 16 May 13 21:38 BST (UK) »
My grandfather, William Joseph MAHER (1863-1945) was born in Rathmacan, Co Kilkenny, and immigrated to the USA in the mid-1880s. He settled in Omaha, Nebraska and married Catherine McSHANE (1864-1941) in 1891. She was born in Loughross/Crossmaglen, Co Armagh. They had seven children, all of whom I have covered well in the descendancy. I have been able to trace the McShane side back to my g-g-grandparents. The Kilkenny info is sketchy. Family stories relate that William's parents were Michael and Mary (nee Maher) MAHER. I have a paiinting (attached) of them that my grandfather had painted from a snapshot. I got it because my name is Michael and my father's name was Michael. I would like any assistance, contacts, connections, etc, etc to aid in tracing this ancestry. Obituaries, grave sites, newspaper clippings, photos, and/or anything related will be highly appreciated.

Armagh / McShane Ancestry - Loughross/Crossmaglen
« on: Monday 22 October 07 20:44 BST (UK) »
Looking for the ancestors of my great-grandparents and gg-grandparents.
My g-grandfather was Patrick McShane (c.1810-10 May 1895) from Loughross/Crossmaglen. He married Anne Callaghan (c.1837-29 Apr 1903) on 27 Dec 1855 in Crossmaglen. They had nine children: Mary, James, Catherine (my grandmother), Anne, Alice, Ellen, Margaret, Rose and Bridget. I am looking for any information regarding Anne Callaghan's parents and ancestors.
I am also searching for any ancestors of my gg-grandfather. He was James McShane (c.1870-20 May 1862). He married Margaret Bowden (c.1780-8 Sep 1853) on 14 Jul 1799 in Upper Creggan Parish, Crossmaglen. They had eight children: Catherine, Mary, Margaret, James, Frans, Patrick (my g-grandfather), Felix, and Eleoner. I am particularly interested in any information regarding Margaret Bowden's parents and ancestors.
Appreciate any information or sources anyone might have available.
Thanks, Mike

Waterford / Re: Michael Maher b C1841

Have no idea if there is a connection... My grandfather was William Joseph Maher (1863-1945) from ? Ireland. Family stories say his parents were Michael and Mary Maher and I hold a portrait of them because my name is Michael. This has been a brick wall since I started genealogy. William married Catherine McShane from Loughross/Crossmagen, County Armagh, in Sep 1891 in Omaha, Nebraska. Her ancestors I have been able to trace but ol' William is a mystery. Any leads will be appreciated.
