Hi Sweeney clan,
I am JOHN D. SWANEY. My Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandparents are JOHN & BRIDGET SWEENEY (SWANEY) from the COUNTY DONEGAL, IRELAND.
They Came to the USA in 1798 and settled in CROSSINGVILLE, PA. Their son JOHN SWANEY moved to MICHIGAN and settled in OLD MISSION, MI. Many of the following generations, including mine, lived in the TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN area.
I presently live outside GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN in the small city of ROCKFORD
I would enjoy hearing from anyone who is a part of this branch of the family tree. Those who live in MICHIGAN and PENNSYLVANIA are of special interest for me to possibly talk with or even visit with at some point in the future.
Best wishes to all.

Derek Reginald Sweny

Help,
I am looking for anyone who can help put together the any of the missing links.
My name is Derek Reginald SWENY born Dublin 31/5/49. My late father was Reginald Frederick SWENY he had several brothers
George, Charlie, Cecil to mention a few but they spelt their surname Sweeny.
My father lived at 1 Lincoln Place Dublin Ireland which was a chemist shop owned by his father, the shop is still
there and has the name SWENY is over the door.
The Sweny family were Church of Ireland but I know that several members of the family married RC partners and
that over the years the name changed to Sweeny or Sweney.
My father told me that many years ago that he had traced the family line back to The Vikings etc,
and when I was in Norway (1972) I met many families Swen Swenvic Swensun.
If there is anyone out there who can help or maybe I can fill in bits please Email me'
Yours Derek

I was told a tradition that my name was orginally was Swinhey or Sweeney . According to the tradition .Some of my family was killed in ? And two escaped to the U.S. (Penn) in the 18 th century .Another was killed? And my great-great -great Grandfather travelled down Boone's trail and some German By the name of Miller told him to take the name of Swinehart and he wouldn't be found . On my grandfather who died in1926.It spelt his Swinieheart. I was told by a cousin the real name and changed name is record. I have not found it in 30 years of looking .Since I've had by-pass's I may be running out of time. But who Knows?
