About Me
Hello everyone! Always been interested in genealogy. After my General Certificate of Secondary Education I have been raised and educated in Germany, but spent most of my vacations in Ireland with my relatives. My current residence is near to Frankfurt in Germany. Thinking about Family trees
Unfortuately I never really spent a lot of time living with my Irish relatives. Maybe just about a month of visits; spread out over a year, for a couple of families, during holidays; had to do! So came the time with Mickey and Phyllis from Tullintuppen, Balligear at wich I could not resist to keep bugging them with questions for a whole week. I started worrying, that this load of questions in my mind might turn into sudden torture to the absorptive, but fortunately they were very happy that I was there to show some interest on family history.

If your name is not Finnerty or a variant, who is your nearest Finnerty relative? Examples would be: My maiden name was Finnerty. May fathers name was Finnerty, My maternal grandmother was a Finnerty.
Family name is Finnerty: My oldest paternal great grand parents were John Finnerty and Bridget Keone. Their marriage record is in the St. Laurence Parish records for Tynagh [Tine] village which lies just southeast of Loughrea in southeast Galway. John and Bridget would have been born in the late 1700s. Family tradition holds they moved to Barnaculla an area a couple of miles north of Tynagh. Johns son Thomas Finnerty married Catherine Whelan in the St. Laurence church. There are still Whelans in the Barnaculla area, however no Finnertys or Keones, The Whelans of Tynagh pronounce their name as in "wheel" not "whey." There were numerous Finertys recorded in marriages and baptisms and as sponsors, recorded in the Tynagh records. The name is recorded as both Finnerty and Finerty, and became Finnerty in the USA. John and Bridget did not migrate during the famine, however all the sons and daughters migrated to Clinton MA, USA and some worked in the woolen mills. Son James remained in Clinton and I have his family records. Sons John and Thomas married in Clinton and they and their sisters migrated to the Red Granite region in the Northwest Territory, now Wisconsin where they became farmers. John remained in the Red Granite/Green Lake region, however my ancestor Thomas migrated to new lands in Iowa where they homesteaded land and one grandson as I recall became a county sheriff in Iowa. My ancestors descend from Thomas and later migrated to Dakota Territory and homsteaded land in what is the state of South Dakota. They had extremely hard lives and survived the drougth, famine and the Great Depression, also known as the Dust Bowl. Most were farmenrs, however two of Thomas' sons also became a county sheriffs, one in Minnesota and one in South Dakota.

Deirdre Finnerty Force Limited Member Female 68 years old |
About Me
I am presently retired and living in Georgia. I grew up in Northern New Jersey and Upstate N.Y.. I have been working on 4 family histories since 2006 and the Finnerty family is the one I am still trying to complete. My great-great-grandfather, Stephen Finnerty arrived in the US from Galway in 1847. He settled in the Scranton, PA area and he was a miner by trade. Prior to 1847, the only information we have is that he was from either Galway or Roscommon. There seems to be very little information prior to that so I still have a lot of work ahead of me.
