Re: Franey in Ohio-Tarpey/Morris connection

gregsonmom — 2009-06-17 18:19:10Z

Mary A (Morris)Tarpey b.1842 was born in Charlestown, Mayo, Ireland. According to her obituary she came to Lancaster Ohio in 1860. Her mother was Catherine Franey b.1825 and ? Morris. John Franey b.1821 lived next door to the Tarpey's in 1880. I believe John was Mary's uncle making Catherine(Franey)Morris his sister. Mary had three more siblings that I know of: John Morris b.1852 an unnamed sister that stayed in Ireland, and Catherine A (Morris)Daugherty b.1848-my great-great-great grandmother. This Daugherty line was from county Mayo as well and immigrated to Lancaster. Not to be confused with the Michael Daugherty the attorney living in Lancaster line. Hope this helps....I'm still looking for family in all the surnames.

Hi Trillionnikki,
So, your grandpa Pat and my grandmother Margaret (Franey) McMahon were 1st cousins, which I think makes us, third cousins, since our great-grandfathers were brothers. My great-grandfather was Walter Joseph Franey, Sr., son of Henry and Agnes Franey, but he stayed in Kansas City, when the rest of his family moved to Bakersfield. I was actually in contact with one of your Great Uncles, James I believe it was, in the fall of 2003 who sent me the whole genealogy of your clan. But, I have a great photo I can send you of our Great-Great-Grandparents, Henry and Agnes, with their three boys if you like. Just email me at richkinnard2@gmail.com.
cheers,
Rich

Oh Rita, I am so saddened to hear about Mick. It seems to be a winter of misfortunes. My best friend Vic Navarra passed away on December 30th from sinus cancer caused by 9/11-WTC. He was a retired fire lieutenant who went back to help. Vic was also the Start Organizer of the NYC Marathon for the past 25 years. I hope that the Freaney family has pulled together and know that God is watching over them and Mick. It would have been something to sit down with him and talk about the family. Yes, I will call Peggy soon. It's totally understandable that more important things are being handled right now. Please let everyone know that we are thinking and praying for all of you. God bless and best to everyone.

I'm sorry that I have not been checking for messages for the past few months because of a new job and coming down with the flu. I hope that Mick is doing well now and that the rest of the family is surviving the winter as well. I am hoping to get some vacation time (and money) to come out to visit sometime between October 2008 and March 2009.
The current job does not pay too well and some of the kids have come back home (so much for an empty nest). You can contact me directly at n2nov@n2nov.net or at 1-718-876-7929.

Possible FRAME / FRANEY & Var. Surname Connections

jfalk100 — 2007-07-24 12:07:45Z

Research into the origins of the FRAME surname has revealed it was almost certainly influenced by Osulf fil Frame (or Frane), Lord Belvoir du Plessis, thegn to King Edward the Confessor. The surnames DE FRAMÉ and LE FRESNE (pron. Frane) were found in Calvados, Normandy, less than 70 miles apart. Each was even nearer to Le Plessis-Grimoult, the fortification last held by Osulf’s son, Grimoult du Plessis, in 1047. The proximity is close enough to suggest a shared provenance between these families in Normandy, and for this reason the FRAME DNA PROJECT has been extended to include the surnames:-

DE FRAMÉ, FRAEME, FRAHM, FRAIM, FRAIME, FRAM, FRAME, FRAMINGHAM, FRAMLINGHAM, FRAMPTON, FRAMSDEN, FRAYM, FREAM, FREAME, FROAM, DE FRAINE, DE FREYNE, FRAIN, FRANE, FRANEY, FRAYN, FRAYN, FREAN, FREEN, FREENEY, FRENEY, FRESNE, FREYNE, or any other variants thought to have evolved from these names.

The aim is to use Y-DNA testing to determine which of the variant surnames relate to a common ancestor. DNA testing for genealogy purposes is more economical through a surname DNA project such as this, rather than as an individual. Any males by natural descent carrying any of the above surnames or variants are most welcome to join the Frame DNA project.

Further information on Osulf fil Frame and/or DNA testing may be obtained at: http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/f/frame/

n2nov — 2007-07-17 04:38:40Z

Thank you for your help, Rita. I spent a half hour talking with Mick earlier today. Eventhough there were some difficulties in telephone line noise in the beginning, we were able to talk about a few things. Mick took down my mailing address and phone number. He wants to spend some time jotting down some details and send them off to me. He remembers my grandmother (his aunt) visiting in the early 1960's with some of my aunts, uncles and cousins in tow.
I would like to build out this side of the family tree. Have you done any GEDCOM files on this side of the family?

Re: Patrick Franey descendants of Nova Scotia

2005-07-23 02:02:33Z

I don't believe our Franey's are connected on this side of the Atlantic. The only "tip" I might have for you is that my ancestors came from New Ross in County Wexford, Ireland...so it's possible your Franey ancestors originated from that county too.

Stephen Franey in Nova Scotia

Re: Patrick Franey descendants of Nova Scotia

2005-07-22 21:24:33Z

My great grandfather James Franey was from Cassandra, PA. We beleive he was the mayor of Cassandra sometime durning the early 1900's. He was born in 1869 and died in 1914. He was married to Emma Leap Frandy. His parents were Micheal Franey born in Ireland and his mother was Annie Franey also born in Ireland. I believe her maiden name was Kilduff.
I don't think we arethe decendants of Nova Scotia but, the information may be useful. You may have some leads for my sisters and myself.

DNA Testing

Anyone know if that has been a DNA on the Franey/Freney families ?? or could we all get one going.?

Re: Franeys of Nova Scotia

Hi Joe
thanks I got a little mixed up.
good to hear from you. How are all your folks as it is a long time from I heard from you. If I am correct in thinking, i am talking to the right Joe. ( Dick's son) Keep in touch.

Re: Franey

2004-02-23 15:32:08Z

Hi Ann
I was just browsing through the net looking up the Franey name and have come across your query.
My grandfather was also called james and was born around 1890, but was in Waterford. The counties to which you refer are Offaly and Laios. My grandfather emigrated to America and married my grandmother (Mary Smith) and returned to her home area in Co. Tyrone. I too would like to trace my ancestry and discover any relatives forgotten about and maybe we have some connection to the past
Best of luck in your Quest
