Dear Searchers,

For the past 300 Years the village of Lisvernane deep in the Glen of Aherlow, County Tipperary, Ireland has produced hundreds of people with the Family Surname Hennessy.

Timothy Hennessy (born circa 1700 in Dangan, County Cork, Ireland) was my 4th Great Grandfather. He married Kate Fahy and the entire Townsland of Lisvernane of about 2,000 acres was evenly divided between himself and his brother-in-law Dennis Fahy. His great-great-great grandson Jack Hennessy now lives in the Homeplace and the entire village is peppered with Hennessy Cousins.

Many members of the Family emigrated the U.S.A. - mainly to Chicago - many are buried in the Calvary Cemetery, Evanston, Chicago. Savannah, Georgia was another popular destination.

PLEASE, PLEASE Contact Me (or Telephone Me) if any of this is of interest to you. I have hundreds of names and details in my Family Tree Software - from years of Research.
