Dale: You may already have the following but since I've been researching my own Irish ancestors in the Irish Hill section of Indianapolis, Marion County (Donahue, Sullivan, Shea, White, Leary, McKee and more, research which has expanded to include other families which ended up in Holy Cross Parish), I've become something of a collector of Irish names. Although I suspect the following is your Riley group, please remember to verify that this does indeed pertain to your family.
