My 2nd great grandfather, Denis Hanrahan, was born in Jan. 1803, Ballybunion, Co. Kerry. I do not know who his parents were. He married Mary English, (date unk) and had the following children: Patrick, Ellen, (my great grandmother), and Honora. He immigrated to the U.S., first to Kentucky, then to Olmsted Co MN.

My great great grandparents were Dennis Hanrahan and Mary English. My great grandfather was Thomas Hanrahan who was born in Ballybunion. He moved to Moyvane in County Kerry at a very young age and lived the rest of his life there as a farmer. I am familiar with the records of Ellen, Honora, and Dennis Hanrahan. In your query I noticed that you did not mention their son Dennis. Was there a Timothy Hanrahan or a Thomas that you might have heard about through word of mouth? I am interested in getting more information about the Hanrahan family. If you know of anything please don’t hesitate to pass along your information.
