John-One of the Foley family members, a Helen O'Connor took on the task of drafting the family tree.That was in 1962. She has subsequently died. It was her wish, based on my interest in the family, that I continue the search.While my heart has always been with the project, my efforts have not.
Helen was the unmarried dau of Mary foley and John O'Connor, both b Ireland, but I think they migrated to the USA.Helen's m, Mary Foley O'Connor was the dau of Johanna Foley and Denis Fogarty of Cappaganeen, Beaufort.Johanna was the siter of my ggf, Timothy.
I've lost contact with the Helen's family. However, my sister, Mary Foley Sidote (yes, Italian) is a repository of information and stories of the "old folks" that came to Massachusetts. This includes Buckley's and MacGillicuddy's who had also migrated to Massaxchusetts from the areas around Killarney.My sister, Mary, is taking her first trip to Ireland in August. She is on a guided tour, but will be in kerry for a few days: Ring of Kerry, overnight at Kinsale, etc. I believe she leaves August 13. Would you like to meet if possible. I'll await your response before checking with her.
BAck to your original question: helen visited the family farm (ca 1960) stating that James Foley m Kathleen foley lived therewith 3 children; Charles, Michael, and Mary. The family was also visited by our cousins Dr. Charles Whelan and wife Maria (1960) and by Josephine, Mary, and Margaret Fogarty (1961) akll from the USA. I don't know of any other contact between the US and Irish family members.
Aree you able to trace further back than your grandfather?
Best, Jim
