Does anyone have any knowledge of the Rooney family of Moyvore ?
Gr-grandfather Patrick Rooney born abt. 1852 left Ireland before 1889 for Chascomús, Buenos Aires, Argentina where he had a sheep farm. About 1901- 1902 after the death of wife Mary Ann Ganly, Patrick returned to Aughnaboy, Moyvore where he resided until his death on October 22, 1917. Three children , Mary Ann, James & Elizabeth, emigrated to New York City, NY while Margaret stayed in Ireland. Believe Margaret died in Dunleary abt. 1976. I haven't found Patrick's lineage yet. We used to be in contact with some of the cousins but unfotunately have since lost track.
