Sweeney from Co.Donegal, Ireland
I live in Ireland : my wife's maiden name was Sweeney. Her father was John (a local auctioneer and Land Agent for the Marquis of Conyngham), whose brothers left for the USA in 1880's, including William and Robert, settling around the Boston,Mass. area. Another brother, Charles, set up as a pharmacist in Holywood, Co.Down, near Belfast,Ireland, and whose family still live there to-day.
Mt wife's great-grandfather was William, his father was William also, and his grandfather was John.The oldest family graves are at Meenglass, Co.Donegal, one of which is marked "a loyal and faithful steward of Lord Lifford". All were Protestant Episcopalian (Church of Ireland)by faith.
Any connections??
