Dear Friend(s):
My mother, Mary Lydon, daughter of Michael Lydon and Bridget Cusack, was born on July 10, 1910 in the hamlet of Killikitiane, Saint Mary's parish, village of Tourmekady, in County Mayo.
She immigrated to New York City, NY, landing here on December 8, 1929, along with her sisters Briget (Blunney) and Margaret (Murphy) and her brother MIchael Lydon.
Among her siblings rmeaining in Ireland were Oonagh, Kate, Anne, John and Patrick.
I do not know the precise degree of relatedness, but among her cousins was the American boxer and celebrity Jean Tunney and the late Michael Carton, Irish musician and singer.
I hope the foregoing is helpful.
Kindest regards,
Bill Courson
