William Hennessey and Mary J. Hennessey were both born in Ireland and came to New York, USA where in August 1876 they gave birth to a son, William A Hennessey in Manhattan, New York, USA. I believe William A. was my biological grandfather. His son, Michael J. Hennessey Sr was my biological father. I'd like to learn where I came from and where the family is in Ireland. My husband's family is from Ireland and we plan to go visit and hope to locate relatives. Thank you
I am trying to find ancestors in Clare County Ireland or wherever they may be in Ireland. My moms maiden name was McIlvoy.
