BEST WISHES to Nora Kennelly of Moyvane who celebrated her 90th birthday recently.

EMIGRATION: Between the years 1717 to 1770 over 250,000 Ulstermen went to America.

STACK/ FOULKES; Message: Just curious if anyone can assist me in finding the parentage of my great great grandmother Ellen Stack who married Edmund McKenna, the son of Patrick McKenna and Jane Foulkes.  I know of Ellen Stack as my great great grandmother as she and Edmund McKenna are named as parents on the death certificate of my great grandmother Ellen McKenna Flood in Manhattan in 1924. Just want to find Ellen Stacks mom and dad.   Maurice is a name used frequently in descendants and a Maurice Leon McKenna, brother to my Great grandmother Ellen. He came to America in 1865 and settled in New Orleans as a train engineer.

    Happy 90th to Nora Kennelly! Is she by any chance related to John Kennelly, my great grandfather who left Moyvane in the late 1800’s and married Mary O’Dea in Melbourne in 1894? Their children included Hannah Margaret ( my grandmother) and Patrick who became a very important man in the Australian Labor Party, serving as a Senator in the Australian Federal parliament. I have hit a brick wall trying to trace family in Moyvane.

  2. Jim Kennelly says

    Any chance Nora Kennelly is related to Tim and Anne Marie Kennelly of Moyvane? Regardless, Happy 90th!

  3. Jim Kennelly says

    I love this website. Please keep up the wonderful work. Hope to visit Moyvane next year and be the first of my branch of the Kennelly to set foot there since September 1906. All the best.

    Oh may I put to rest the fable that my Edmund Mckenna and his wife Ellen Mckenna, ancestors of mine through their daughter Bridgit Ellen Mckenna, born Nov 1838 in Listowel have any more information missing such as Ellens parentage, she a Stack. Her first daughter named Bridgit, (b1821) died prior to 1838 as last daughter (my Great Grandmother Bridgit (Ellen) born Nov 1838. Seeking parentage of Ellen Stack. Prendivilles surname featured often as Godparents of offspring of Edmund and Ellen. Is Edmund REALLY or POSSIBLY son of THomas Mckenna and Jane Ffoulkes? Oh the mysteries of life-perhaps we are never to know!
