Thank you for the info. I've had a hard time following the Hanrahan family before their arrival in the US. And there are so many Hanrahans with the same first names. I'm in the process of changing e-mail accounts, so I'll send more information at a later time. However, here's a brief look at the family, starting with me.

James L. Hanrahan
b. 4 May 1976 (corning, steuben, NY)

William F. Hanrahan (my dad)
b. 27 Sep 1943
m. Suzanne Dyer (b. 1944)


James Bernard Hanrahan (my grandpa)
b. 18 Feb 1908
m. Ida Marie Stratton (b.24 Dec 1912)
--children
Michael J. (b.1931)
Thomas L. (b.1933)
John C. (b.1935)

William F. (see above)
Judith H. (b.1947)

James Stephen Hanrahan (g-grandpa)

m. Helen Theresa Cahill (b.14 Nov 1883)
--children

both came over from Ireland
--children--
John (b.1856)
Annie (b. abt 1858)
Susanna (b. abt 1860)
Frank (b.1863)

Thomas (b. 1868)
Martin (b.1872)
Michael (b. 1873)
Nellie (1876)
James (--see above--)
Joseph(b. 1880)

Patrick probably came over with his father, and some brothers and sisters.

we think some of Patrick's brothers may have been James and John.

John Hanrahan (b.1830) married Ellen Hurley (b.1832)

This is all I've been able to find, but if you'd like additional info on some of the children, wives, etc..., post a reply to this message, and I'll let you know my new e-mail address. As far as any further info you have, I'd love to share it.

Thanks, Jim
