Looking for family from Galway area prior to 1860, part of the family
emigrated about 1850, I am
looking for any ideas or possible connections to my GREELEY family. It
was spelled Greeley here in the US, but I don't know the original
spelling and would appreciate any help. Patrick Greeley was born about
1834 and married to Bridget NEVILLE, born Feb. 1835. They were from
County Galway and related to Father Andrew GREELEY and his family. They
came to New York sometime before 1854, where their son Thomas F.was
born. They moved to Reading and Scranton Pennsylvania, where four
children were born, Mary in 1857, James in Aug 1858, John P. in 1862,
and Ellen in July 1867. By 1880 the Greeleys moved to St. Louis,
Missouri. Related surnames are LAWLER, HARN, HAGGERTY, and NEVILLE.
