Nellie Moynahan'sTrip to Ireland and Scotland in 1908

My second great-aunt Nellie Moynahan (1865-1940) from Windsor, Ontario has always fascinated me growing up and when I heard that Nellie traveled to Ireland, England and Italy in 1908, I wanted to know more.

I am planning a trip to Ireland in 2019 with my brother an sister and we know that our Brennan and Moynahan ancestors came from County Kerry but we haven't located the exact towns in County Kerry. Did Nellie go to county Kerry? Did she visit any family there?

Finding Roach Ancestors in Midleton, Co. Cork, Ireland

This blog post is one of several that I hope will assist me in locating the townlands and parishes of my ancestors in Ireland. My brother, sister and I will be visiting Ireland and staying in Co. Clare in 2019.


My 2nd great-grandmother Catherine Roach/Roche (1811-1872) married my 2nd great-grandfather Denis Moynahan (1787-1885) in St. Anne's Church in Detroit, Michigan.
