My name is June Tsakas. My ggrandfather THOMAS SWEENEY was born ROSCOMMON, IRELAND c.1873. His father was MARTIN. Thomas moved to England, and had brothers ( JAMES? MARTIN? PATRICK? ) who went to USA, one or all of them lived in INDIANA. I know this is sketchy but I'm hoping SOMEONE will be able to add details to this. I must have relatives somewhere! I'm in Greece so find it hard to do any research. Thanks to that one person out there who can help!

5 Ellen/ Helen/ Eleanor m Frank CARROLL ca. WHAT ARE THE NAMES OF HER CHILDREN, WHO DID THEY MARRY? Lived on Arthur St and West Onondaga Blvd, Syracuse. Frank worked at John Deere Tractor in Syracuse.

Have much Sweeney info to share on Sweeney line from the Crossmolina Parish region of Co Mayo, including the surrounding parishes of Mpygawnagh, Kilfian,Etc. and in the USA- Syracuse, NY; Boston, MA; Leominster, MA.

Hope someone out recognizes there line here!

Denise West
No. 258

Hi,
My name is Denise West. I am looking for information on Bernard W. Sweeney who was born in Ireland in 1767 and died in Spartenburg, South Carolina on Dec. 22, 1814. He married Frances Walker Dec 18, 1806. I am trying to find what area of Ireland he was from. My sister and I are planning a trip to Ireland in October and would like to visit that area to try to find more information on the family. We are from Indiana. And this will probably be our only chance to see Ireland and try to trace our family history.

Thanks,
Denise
