[sent June 6] Today is June 6th, the anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France. On this date John L. Ahearn commanded the second tank to make it ashore on Utah Beach. He was later awarded the Distinguished Service Cross after he was seriously wounded attempting to rescue men trapped in a minefield. I've added new photos and additional text to his memorial page at http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~aherns/ahdday.htm There are now 3,625 obituaries on the Ahern website. The earliest new obituary is for Anthony Thomas Ahearne of Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, 17 March 1969. The most recent obituary is for Daniel E. Ahern of Atlanta, Georgia, 3 June 2009. Those of you who attended the Ahern gathering in Cork in 2001 will remember Dan, who was part of the large contingent from Syracuse, New York. His brother, Fr. John Ahern who also attended, survives him. For those of you whose Aherns were from County Cork, the 1911 census for Cork is now available at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/ The following news stories have been added to the Ahern website: - plumber George W, O'hearn and his brother-in-law William Ruppell of Louisville, Kentucky burned to death when a gasoline torch explodes, 23 August 1922 - night watchman James O'Hearn commits suicide with his pistol in Louisville, Kentucky, 4 November 1926 - Sheila Walsh Ahern and Nathaniel Edward Mundy married married in Stamford, Connecticut, 8 July 2007 - Sean M.
