It shows her line from her parents back to Dennis McGrath.

Appears to be a re-do of Ancestries 6 – not a copy but a re-do.

“About the year 1700 in Co. Tipperary Ireland Dennis McGrath, of Garry-weanish, Co. Tipperary married into the Dwyer family.”

Related to the Dwyer family: “All Ryans on both sides Dan Ryan and Mary Ryan parents of” John, Stephen Patrick, William and Philip (all lined out), Winifred, Mrs. Long and Mrs. Kearney.

John McGrath of Coolkill, BallyCahill P.O. married 1st Bridget Purcell or Mary of same parish. And 2nd married Bridget Fahey of same Co. Also lists children of both marriages and begins to list their son Philip McGrath, Coolkill, “B.C. (Ballycahill) above married Winifred Ryan of Rath Cannon (Rathkennan) Co. Tipperary”

NOTE: The townland of Rathkennan is in the civil parish of Rathkennan.  The small 793 acre Rathkennan parish is sandwiched between the civil parishes of Clogher on the west and Holycross on the east.

Letterhead “Fanning & Henderson” No. 508 Customhouse Street, Corner Decatur (Old Number 50). “My grandfather was Richard Fanning” It then lists Richard’s children their spouses and the number of children in each family.

At the bottom there is the following: “I am the son of Thomas Fanning and Bridget Purcell & the only one of our family name that is alive in this section of the country. I was born in Glon Reich (Glenreagh) pa Holycross. My grandmother’s name – on my mother’s side was Margaret Walsh she was born in place called Klinoultry (Clonoulty). My mother was born in parish Monroe…, townland Lissaroon. My grandfather’s name on Mother’s side was Wm Purcell was born in parish Monro townland of Lissaroon.”

NOTE: There is a Lissaroon townland in Inch parish in Eliogarty barony, Co. Tipperary. There is also a nearby Monroe townland in Inch parish but there is no Monroe parish in Ireland. The Monroe townland adjoined the Inch House property on the south. The entire 63 acres of the townland was occupied by Edward Long and the RC Chapel and yard by Rev. Daniel Lynch. The immediate Lessor was Major W. Armstrong.
