Michael A. McKernan
No. 70
I am Michael A. McKernan and I am a decendent of some Sweeneys. This is what
I know:
1) Thomas Sweeney married Bridget Gannon in County Cork Ireland prior to 1854
and came to Pennsylvania-USA
2) Thomas (AKA Patrick) Sweeney was reported to be born on February 2, 1854
and died July 7, 1918. I believe he was born in Pittston, Pennsylvania and married Mary A. Brennan. They had three children who lived into adulthood and a great many who did not. They were a) Thomas born May 1882 in Pennsylvania and probable died in his 20's b) Mary who was born in May 1890 and died December 1988 without children. c) Aloysius who was born on June 10, 1892 or 1894 and died June 6 1935 or 1936. Aloysius is my maternal grandfather.
Any assistence would be appreciated.

Hi. I am looking for any information on my great grandparents. Michael McSweeney 1874-1941. And Mary (O`Sullivan) McSweeney 1873-1948. I do not know what part of Ireland they came from, when they came to Canada in approximately 1894. But they did have at lest one child with them, if not more. Connie(m),Pat(m),John(m) and more that were born in Saskatchewan. The family thinks that maybe they were from Cork. If any one has any ideas on how to find birth records and the marriage records, please let me know.
Thank you.

Hello all Sweeney's. My name is Rita. Currently I am living in Rhode Island, however I was born and raised in South Boston, Ma.. Presently I am wracking my brains to find out as much information as I can on my Great-Grandfather. His name was Patrick Sweeney, and he was married to Eliza Sweeney nee Rogers in Boston
Mass in the year 1855. Patrick was 31 yrs of age and Eliza was 21. I have no idea when he Emigrated or his wife for that matter. Patrick and Eliza had two daughters that I know of. Mary Jane born 1856 and Eliza or Eliza eth as she was called. Born in 1860. Mary Jane married a John Puncheon (sp) Sarjeant and they had Elizabeth John and Francis. Eliza married Joseph w. Shaughnessy and had six children. Alice,Catherine,Agnes,Mary,(my mother and George. She had a baby boy Joseph Patrick who was born in 1905 and died in 1908 God Bless him..Although I do have the registration of their marriage, I do not have any idea when Patrick came over from Ireland or where he was from. I do know that his father was listed on the certificate, as Timothy Sweeney and Eliza's father was James Rogers. If anyone out there thinks that they may have a link to my Patrick, Please contact me.
Thank you all for reading this letter.

My name is Kim Pickles, my grandmother was a Sweeney. Her father was William Sweeney of Co. Cork Ireland. He married a Rose M. Henry of New Jersey, USA, and divorced after my grandmother was 9 years old. William and Rose had 6 children -- Lillain, Charlotte, Phillip, Jackie, Walter, and Edward.
They all were born in N.J. USA. William died in Missouri, USA last know place of residence. That is all I have on him and hope to get more as to our relatives. He's believed to have immigrated over in the mid to late 1800.

My grandmother was a Sweeney. Her father was a William Sweeney born in Missouri. He married a Rose M. Henry of New Jersey. After 3 children they divorced and he moved back to Missouri. That's the last known add. His father emigrated from Co. Cork Ireland maybe in the early to late 1800. Any help will be appreciated.

My great grandfather Michael J. Shean married HANNAH VERONICA SWEENEY, born
1874 (Boston, Mass?) to JOHN J. SWEENEY and MARGARET LORDON, who came to
U.S. in 1873 from Bantree Bay, Co. Cork.
Anyone have any history on John J.
or Margaret?

Hi - I know this is a long shot but I would love to trace my Grandmothers family - the only information I have is this
My grandmothers parents were Mary and James Sweeney who came from County Mayo to England in about 1860.
My Grandmother was named Alice and she had sisters named Delia and Margaret. I think there were more in the family but I don't have details except that one of them emigrated to New Jersey at some point
Any information would be very gratefully received
Thank you
