Michael Brennan c 1855 Co Galway, IRL
Michael Brennan was the eldest child of Myles and Mary Brennan(nee Thornton). He was born about 1855 in the parish of Annaghdown, Co Galway. While his brothers John, James and Patrick (my grandfather)all migrated to Western Australia, Michael went to the USA. He married 2 Kathleens (1 died) and had a daughter Eveline/Eveleen. Family lore has it that he became editor of the New York Times but the paper's archives don't support this.
